This life has been so filled lately, that very little has been written. However, I had to share this one that came to me this morning via the blessings of day's commencement. btw...all of you that reached down and picked up "I Got Mooned" long after it was posted, thank you so much for reading and for your wonderful words and encouragement! Sincerely, Virginia

It Slips In

the cool of a late spring morning
slips in around my ankles
then whispers up my frame
its blessings

sun filters through the leaves,
the blinds, graying the shadows
with its diffusion

a profusion of bird song
hearkens the tendermost pieces
of my heart
inching the start
of a serenity
most profound

were it not
for the blessings
within moments like these,
would I not perish
of anguish
from the oppressions
of a world
all too often gone wild?

yet, He,
in His awesome
omnipotence,
through the omniscience
of His very nature,
soothes my soul,
quells the weariness of my mind,
and fills my heart
with the thrilling essence
of His creation

can you not sense it?
can you not experience
the ebb and flow
of the balance of
the beauty of the Earth?

is there not
a gentle tickling of mirth
within your being,
from seeing,
feeling,
tasting, hearing,
yes, even smelling
the wondrous aroma
of His love?

I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
