or; thoughts of God and nature
Last night I was pensive. I thought a lot about my relationship with God, and how I've felt his hand in my life. This week has been a rollercoaster of emotion, but I'm finally back to normal - business as usual. SC is kickin' still. But after all this thought, I was browsing the internet and stumbled upon one of my poems I had written back in 2002, had posted on an old blogger site, and hadn't thought of since. But for some reason, it struck a chord, and I thought I'd share it.
The sky is cold and dark this winter day,
and though the clouds may cover up the sun
I'm warm. I do not need celestial rays
to keep my body warm 'till life is done.
The snow is falling; mounts and vales of white
to freeze the world's motor, 'till the spring
returns. I do not mind the drifts, so bright
and glorious; I exalt in joy they bring.
The trees, devoid of leaf and simply bare
bring comfort still in thoughts of coming days
when once again these branches shall be paired
with green companions, bowing limbs to pray
to all the grandeur here upon the earth
and to the Lord, giver of Nature's worth.
Gotta love the big guy. I'm so excited for spring and the coming blooms and blossoms!
