Adoration’s Exclamation

when reeds dance
in the music of the breeze
and bamboo beats
in rhythm with the trees,

when ferns wave
in the waffling air,
we will linger long
in our garden there

our hearts refreshed
our sinew calmed,
we’ll sink to our knees
praise and sing a psalm

for knowing whence
come such blessed balm
we can do no less
than to sing His song

of love and peace
harmony, accord
thanksgiving, laud
for the gifts out-poured

©April 18, 2004

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

What beautiful praise.  Being surrounded by nature is always a deep reminder of the Creator and inspires thoughts of gratitude.

A wonderful read and true inspiration...I am printing it and hanging it on the cork board now!  Thank you!

Let my words fall first upon deaf ears before a closed mind...
