As in Tribute to God's creation...
As in tribute to God's creation,
Majestic waves of rock
rise, peak, then fade
into the cool tranquility
of the waters below.
Gentle ripples tickle the shore,
Caressing the jagged rocks
as they climb
higher and higher
reaching for the summit.
Intertwining shades of green,
collect in forests
below the cliffs.
Trees, standing like guards,
thrust upward
with anticipation
for the sky, the sun and life.
Whispers, nearly silent,
ease through wooded lands
filled with all their wonders.
not one,
but many
lakes and streams
carve out their homes here.
Crickets sing their shrilling song,
accompanied by the bees
and song birds of blue and scarlet.
A hawk sours
on invisible pathways,
up and out of view.
At my side
a flower
delicate
and simple
explains it all.
