It is a sweet and shining day.
A breeze that sets the trees a-sway,
Is rustling bushes, stirs the grass
And whispers secrets in it's pass,
But not so loud that I can hear,
As it is brushing past my ear.

The service berry trees are white
With fragrant blossoms and the sight,
Reminds me of the weeks ahead.
For when fruit ripens, I'll be led
To pick a gallon pail or two,
For jams and jelly.  Just a few
To eat straight from the tree as I
Envision them made into pie.

The creek is making music too
And shadows flit, as birds pass through,
To add their voices to the song
That nature sang this whole day long
And God was there for I could see
His handiwork, surrounding me!

Trillium,

Yes, I believe that God does exist in whatsoever is lovely and pure like your poetry. Perhaps, a bit of Him even exists in those wonderfully delicious homemade fruit pies.... I know that much love goes into making them and I just love to eat them...... and God is Love!!!  Ha!  Just a little hungry humor.  Bob <><

Bob:  It's uplifting to think that everything we see in nature is by the hand of God and indirectly the pies we make from the fruit we pick. I "love" making pie!  Wish you could share some with me.
