Thick bands of light, ribbons of color
Morph from pink to yellow to blue
Long, thin clouds slowly float
Escorting the coming morning
The chill in the air hardly felt
For the senses are in awe
At God's wondrous tapestry

Stoic trees stretch, trying in vain
To hug the sky with their naked limbs
Grass, crunchy and frosted white
Tattle of my disturbing nature's artwork
By highlighting my offending footprints
Cold silence, so deafening I can feel it
Till a bird chirps separating me from reality
< !signature-->

Love one another-let God do the worrying,
Rodney

thank you for your kind words...amazing the observations you can make on the way home from work and taking the garbage out on a cold December morn in Michigan...

Love one another-let God do the worrying,
Rodney
