Compelled

I felt compelled within my spirit Even though it's icy cold To go out on the porch for just a minute To enjoy the works of God When the door I opened Beauty and sound did surround For the sun was rising in the distance Flashing color all around The mist was rising in the distance From the creek down the way The sky was ablaze in color From red to pink then gray The sun a fireball blazing So close to mother earth With jet steaks of white cotton Across the pale blue morning sky The colors constant changing As slow as a clam opens its shell The banks of colors awed me Filled my spirit until it swelled The roosters sang in unison Their love for the miraculous show The mist just kept on creeping Till the pines and forest overflowed Now the mist surrounds me Chilling me to the bone But I feel wrapped in God's Abiding love that comforts and upholds There goes another jet streaking Across the morning sky The exhaust will add one more Layer to the color of the sky' To be able to capture in words Or on a canvas fine The beauty that I see In God's loving hand divine
