SPRING’S GLORY

Even as I sit

And bask in spring’s glory

I cannot see the miracle of growth,

But each morning tells its story.

 

Tiny leaves delicately bud

As if magic happens overnight,

And though I view and concentrate

Growth not detected by my eyesight.

 

And though it seems forever

Before winter takes its leave,

Spring erupts in fragile lace

And once again life’s been freed.

 

And I view the daily change

When each new season is born,

But it seems spring does the best!

Because new life it does adorn!

 

This morning, as I was sitting in my new library’s “Contemplation Corner” in front of the large window, the above poem simply penned itself onto the open page of my journal.  Of course it used my hand as a conduit.  And there it was. 

No matter how hard I try I cannot see a leaf grow, but each morning the leaves are noticeably larger.  I so enjoy viewing time-lapsed photography as it captures the movement of plants toward light and presents in slow motion the miracle of new growth.

 

NATURE’S EVER-CHANGING ATTITUDE

An overcast day

In muted green

Then sounds of thunder

And rain was seen.

 

Moments later

The sparkle of sun

Bathed the leaves

And the rain was done.

 

Such a fragrance

Emanating from wet sod

Delivered by the breeze

Seemed like the breath of God.

 

And the above short poem simply showed up right now and asked to be included.  So there you have it; twins, born a few moments apart.  Both were painless births.

 

Thank You God for the miracle of growth.

Thank You God for spring’s gentle rain.

I thank You Lord for each poem you allow me to see.

 

GOD BLESS YOU!

HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!
