God's pure way

"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God."

As the forest slowly seeps into night
Shadows gently flow across in gentle creep
Birds return to safe nests and hide from sight
And darkness falls into a quiet sleep.

Moon and stars come out from hiding somewhere
Sunshine disappears, darkness rules the night
I look up high, see stars are ev'rywhere
My soul leaps forth, up, up into their light.

And then I hear some crickets singing loud
A frog rivets on a dark bank somewhere
Nature's music flows, 'lieu of daylight crowds
Nocturnal beasts awaken here and there.

Silence sings of peace; nature feels release
As I swing naked on my big oak tree
Looking at stars in the sky feeling peace
For nothing of man's tight bondage I see.

And ev'rything is pure in God's own way
Here in my forest at night when I play.

God's pure way.

Thank you, Marsha for your sweet words of honey. You always delight me with your whispers of appreciation. And your kind soft words forever continue to inspire me to write, write, write. Again, thank you!
