Basking in His Presence


pretty pink petunias
poisedpoints of light
reflecting the glory
of sated drink

beside them
nestled closely
sweet alyssum resides
sparkling with droplets

a summer shower
gentle and soft
has fallen upon them
caressing their hearts

both clumps, of posies, perky
mirrors of joy,
as if a gift of love,
from His very hands

I receive their beauty
into my being
clinging to their effervescent
dances in the whispering breeze

bobbing
their heads to and fro
pivoting, swaying
above their steadfast toes

couldthe Maker
be walking among them
bare feet upon the grass
grasping their whispers
with each ensuing pass?

might He be as playful
as a child
to this scene?
yet wise as asage
traversing the green?

to ponder His presence
brings a joy unmatched
it gives rhythm and music
to my day, to my very soul

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

This is beautiful, Virginia. Truly beautiful!

Did you know I resided in one of those, once

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

(kiss on cheek) This is beautiful, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Virginia, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!
