Devotion Poem Lessons About Praise
** Devotion Poem - LESSONS ABOUT PRAISE **
Written for our holy Abba
From beneath an exalting sky,
Beneath the dancing clouds,
We gasp,
Stunned!
Awed!
Surrounded — with every glance —
By this incomparable Autumn!
Yellows aburst by the sun’s full
Range of reds in bushes on up
To the heights of the fiery
Crowns of trees,
Fronting the proud, straight, giant,
Verdant evergreens
Pointing their arrow-tip peaks
Heavenward,
.
Beyond mere Beauty!
— This Autumn —
As Seeing becomes Feeling,
We gasp
Turning each corner
Moved again
By splendor beyond our ken…
To gasp again…
It seems that all the starlights
Our loving thoughts have gazed
Upon since Genesis
Have come to grace our
Leaving, passing days with
The vast galaxy of colors to be found
In prayers.
Mother Nature, perhaps, in part,
Presents
To us this exceptional, memorable
Autumn
Of trees singing out their mysteries
To draw us
By glorious SIGHT to learn
How
souls in Praising God
FEEL —
Gasps in Awe
Around every corner…
Would that God find our souls thus, so
Resplendent,
Resonating…
In rapt
Refrains of Praise!
