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. © Connie Marcum Wong For Brian Johnston’s contest: “God’s Kind of Poetry”
