His Presence

The mocking bird’s trill is the word of God
The gentle breeze, His sigh
His face is mirrored in a pond
and in a twilight sky

God’s heart beats in the ocean tides
and in a sparrow’s breast
His blood runs through the veins of earth
and on a river’s crest

I think I hear His silent voice
beside me when I weep
I felt His warmth beside my bed
before I went to sleep

His song blows through the summer leaves
in drizzling drops of rain
through amber field of feathered sheaves
and on the dusty plain

In living things, in nature’s breath
God’s presence can be seen
In starlit skies, in ocean’s depth
on water’s silver sheen

In quiet woods of summer green
In rose of crimson red
Beside the lake, beside the stream
and here beside my bed

Dear Heart that was a absolutely beautiful Poem.  I especially like the stanza about when you weep.  Whenever I cry I feel the lords presence too.  I have been reading you poetry and I really am a silent fan.  Keep up the good work, the lord is richly blessing you now!  As that is my prayer.

Elizabeth,

Very Beautiful!!! I think that you do poems that interconnect God with nature especially well and this one is of no exception. I loved the idea that you expressed here, though God is the Creator of nature and is found in nature in Wonderful Wonderful ways, He is also a personal Savior who can be found even at our bedside when we weep and when we fall asleep at night. I really really enjoyed the personal touch that you gave God in this poem.

Again, Beautiful poetry, and, again, God bless.

-Bob
