The Lord and God of Nature | Sonnet - 1 | Intricate form of the Lord

unbeknown to mind and flowing thought,
and unbeknown to all of encompassing existence;
a holy imprint evinced, for those who sought,
to understand nature, and its divine quintessence.
Inner reflection, of the outer world,
is a partial sketch, created by the mind;
Mind cannot see, the true nature of the world,
and what is seen, is a naive impression of mind.
Divine nature, largely unseen by mind,
is seen, only by the Lord and God of Nature;
He who could see, the divinity of nature enshrined,
is not distinct from the seen, but its nomenclature.
I saw the Nature around, but not its Creator,
and inferred from what I saw, the nature of the Creator.
