God's Kind of Poetry

I see God in nature, surrounded in the beauty of our earth.
As God may speak with his spark of life dwelling in me,
Expressed though HIS thoughts in my poetic word’s birth. 

“Now all of my children born and reborn in this world,
I will be your parent, grand teacher, and protector.
Know you are part of me as your earthly body is unfurled.

Fragrant flowers should be known as your sister and brother.
Breathe in deeply of the varied glorious tree’s blessed breath;
A gift from me, your omnipotent father and mother.

Each season praises that divine dominion of poetry.
With each season new life emerges with the beginning of spring
Into the warmth of summer across verdant fields and forestry.

Do not fear as I cause autumn season’s winds to blow
In seeming wrath, set upon colorful trees, leaves are freed
To invite winter and the blessings of new fallen snow.

Receive my blessing of light that opens a direct path to me.
Let it shine bright in your life, in all that you say and do.
Share your delight of this blessing through inspired poetry.

Be aware of your words for they embrace the real you.
Others may be hurt by careless words spoken.
Remember, words mean as much as your actions do.

Any kindness you display by reaching out to those in need
Is always a welcome gift and returned to you in kind,
Only in much more abundance to help YOU succeed.

As you question the heavenly stars in their distant galaxies
The answers lie within yourself, if you will be still and meditate.
You may seek the truth in your own mind for life’s realities.

I am near you always, within and without, have no doubt.
I only wish you love and happiness, even though I know
You must experience difficult times to learn what life’s about.

For you are my child and I rejoice in lessons you’ve learned of.
Teach your children to revere and love me, not fear me,
I’m here to guide and protect them, for you see, I am LOVE!”

Please put your trust in me both below and above
For my divine power and glory is centered in love.

My daughter is flying over Halloween to spend her birthday and her sister's birthday first week of November, so I am busy getting things in order for her visit. It will be a memorable Halloween for my little g.daughter who is 2 and a half and old enough to really enjoy it this year.

Connie, I can't even imagine composing such memorable verse. But, thanks for your invitation; I love spending time at this higher level—a plain of existence where such thoughts exist. I'm keeping bits of it, as I make my way down.

WOW, Connie. You are really in your element when you are writing about God and poetry. It just flows from you so naturally. To think you did this in Terza rima form as well. What a wonderful tribute to God and that form of writing that you are so fond of!

Thank you so much Andrea. I usually don't write about God, but I do write spiritual poems sometimes. Nature is where I feel God dwelling most. Blessings, Connie
