Earth Day: A Song Of The Soul

spring flowers ff04de1f169acae081b577bc37254a17

The new earth
is in bloom,
and we shall
have spring;
at long last
the winter is o’er.

How beautiful
are the
flowers
that delight
my heart
and
raise
my spirit so.

I rest
upon the thought
of gratitude,
to the One
who
makes them grow.

In all this
wonder
I rejoice ~
and thus,
then sings
my soul.

Could Be

Could be
that the April day arising
has the power of new birth ~
blossoming within
I feel the power of her grace
within my soul.

She manages to reach all
the hidden parts of me,
that languish in the
dark cells,
ever dying, ever still.

Could be
that the seed of life
will rise this very day ~
opening to the Light
that shines her way ~
beckoning her forth
into streams of golden rays,
living proof of wonders
sent to say:

“Tiniest of flowers –
you are born to beautify ~
simply being – is your greatest gift;
offer this to all
who would stand upon this place,
gazing into wonder, awe, and praise.

No one can deny
yours is more than words can say ~
as you bless with grace
this quiet hour;
giving, O so freely,
of yourself to all who gaze ~
into simple elegance,
your power.”

Praise Song in my Garden

Praise song in my garden,
wonderment, delight,
Gracefully the flowers
tell of gentle might.
Stillness rests about thee,
yet the song is heard,
Melding with the
heartbeat,
Whispering God’s word.

Oh, to be as flowers,
beautiful and bright,
Sharing mystic wonders
for others who seek light.
What shall be my colours?
What voice shall I say?
Will my life spread fragrance,
gently on the way?

Tiny beings, about me,
teach me so to sing;
Prayerfully a blessing,
every moment bring.
