I walked today
I stood beside the pond and watched
as the ripples danced across the surface
fish breaking water, seeking to capture a meal
I listened as the winds blew
watching, the trees dance to the music
and I felt the presence of God
with me
as I watched the shower of leaves
drifting down around me
watched, as caught on the winds, they danced
drifting and spiraling downward
colors golden, dimmed by the passing of time
still a treasure, gift of love
as the winds tugged at the cattails
pulling the stalks as they swayed
scattering their seed of life
as the frogs escaped my footsteps
diving into the cooled waters of fall
I listened to the birds as they called out
and I felt the love of the Most Holy, filling me
Continuing on my way, I felt the cool, quiet of the woods
envelope me as I walked. I saw the light of the sun, filtered
through the leaves of golden yellow and brilliant reds
shadow shapes shifting along the ground as the trees moved
Stopping often I would gaze around me
watching the changing light, the leaves falling to cover the ground before me
listening as acorns in tandem fell
hitting the ground around me only to bounce and roll to the side
walking into the clearing, feeling the warmth of the sun
the caress of the breeze as I watched the grass taller than me
sway in the breeze, bending to touch the ground and bounce up again
and I felt the presence of God, with me
His warmth and love, encircling me
such wondrous joy welling up inside my heart
I could not help but smile, raising my face to the sun
opening my arms to the winds, I sighed
overcome, over joyed
feeling the precious,sweet love, the presence
with me, within this heart of the most high God
How great is His love for me
these gifts He gives, surrounding me
in the songs and beauty of nature
how great is His love for me
that He would draw me to Him
filling me with His peace
when the world is a place of worry
fears that lurk in the corners, in the darkness
He sends His light
a guide to Him, sanctuary
how great is His love
that He would send His Son for me
forgiveness granted
I stood on the banks of the pond watching
as the ripples danced across the surface
hearing the leaves of the trees, falling around me
and in my heart, His Spirit moved
and I felt, the presence of God.
