Dainty feathered ferns
Robed in emerald cloaks
Thick like the stands of pines
And laurels crowding
The earth scented trail
Woodsy and wild
Like dancing leaves in Autumn
Thrill at my gaze
Wondering hastily o’er
The darkness of this olive blanket
Exposing the fresh cinnamon
Hues of the ground
Trembling through rich brown limbs
In a gray that plays
On the senses, lending grace
To the laughing winds
As they praise our Creator
A cerulean sky
Softens the buttery yellow
Of the sun who smiles
Gentle and strong
On the passage of time
Who reflects on the dawn
Alive with song, rhythm
Soothing the senses
Erasing the last of a Winter
Who yearns to hold onto its dread
Darken the nature who awaits
Sprouting daffodil and tulip
Buds of sparkling hope
Waking up our hearts with joy
Music of the moment
Kindness played on the surface
Of a hungry thought
Spring silences the snow
Wiping away even the reminders
Of a dark cold that feels
More prayerless than atheism
As it prompts the serenity
Of a moment spent deeply moved
By forest and feeling
Coaxed alive by a rising sun
Or a crocus bloom
Soon the land will smile
Awake and alive
Sensations of praise
Whispered on the mind
Who remembers to thank God
For this moment, this day
The way that He blesses us
With each new song
Covering the heart with a tune
Of peace, prayer and grace
A tune of love so amazing
