Dreadlocks

Friday, October 23, 2009


Most unusual clouds this morning
They look like dreadlocks turned 
Gray with streaks of red and pink

Certainly a sky blue sky where 
There are no clouds
I see this as beauty but no one

Told me it is beautiful so who is
Observing this scene through my
Eyes saying this is beauty

There is an order to everything
Flowers have certain number
Of petals with leaves arranged

The human eye sees the order
The eye says this is beauty
Who made these so that they see

The ball of sun is showing 
Radiating it's glow on the scene
Seen only through the trees

That are silhouetted but not
Totally black just dark
Outlines with sun peeking

Roosters greet the day 
With their cock-a-doodle-do
How are you?

Responsiblility calls
Thank you for this time
To commune with God

Beautiful observations of the wonders of God's creation, shows the love connection you have with God, the source of all creation, in his one Spirit. As we maintain the purity of love's connection, ther will be many gifts of the Spirit manifests through us. Sincerely, Love, Moses
