THE COMING OF SPRING

....Giving us pleasant thoughts as we await the arrival of spring.....

MOUNTAIN RAIN

A mountain rain
Leaves the crisp air
Feeling fresh and pure.

Leaves on the trees above me

Are covered with sparkling dewdrops.

Moist flower petals

Match the colors of the rainbow,

Cast in the eastern sky.

Walking barefoot,

I glide across the grassy meadow,

Each blade of grass

Holding a glistening sheen.

The birds chirp melodies,

before the last drop of rain falls.

Chipmunks join in on the song,

Creating a glorious outdoor symphony.

Taking a seat

On a smooth gray rock,

I pull out my thermos of tea,

Sipping a cup,

As I see, touch and hear

God's beauty.

SEEKING

In every life, there are mountains to climb, reaching the hope we are seeking. There are valleys below, ready to bury anger, leaving a harmony of silence behind. Seeds blow, embedding their roots deep into the soil wherever we walk, blossoming into petals of angel wings. Mazes of winding rivers and clear lakes are anxious to wash away sadness, misdeeds and guilt. Contentment and joy remain, filling the soul. The spirit triumphs. A prayer to God is made, feeling blessed to live in His world.
