Poppies Combing the hillside As walking from woods, The grassland's ablaze With rapturing goods. Like Moses in question Of God's mighty powers, The hills are on fire With bright orange flowers. Bathing the foothills With one Loving stroke, His flame does not burn With fire nor smoke. Removing my sandals Off feet where I stand, My senses are consumed In awe of God's hand. -Robert E. Michaud Jr.- |

Felt like I was right there Bob, from your words I could see the wonderous fields of poppies, and I was also standing there "in awe of God's hand." Just beautiful. Bonnie |

I agree, I felt like you'd taken me to the hillside. This is very well done, I enjoyed it  Bathing the foothills With one Loving stroke, His flame does not burn With fire nor smoke. [This message has been edited by Lakewalker (edited 08-21-2000).] |

Bob, This is truly a beautiful poem. You penned a lovely visual of God's beauty, but also your humbling reverence as you stood in His presence. Love, Marcy "Removing my sandals Off feet where I stand, My senses are consumed In awe of God's hand." |

Bob; This is perfection, you captured His wonder as beautifully with the gift he's given you of poetry, as the beauty you describe! Ellie Summers haunting melody that awakens the butterflies, calling them to join the dance in their silent song of praise to God. eL |
