God's Message

My Prayer
The smell of strong coffee wafts
    lingering through the house.
Black with a spit of cream sweetener
    and my first sip will open my eyes.
Wide and glad for the day
    the later rise of morning sun
Coolness waits expected
    longed for after a heat wave
Spinners flow right then left
    as breezes flow graceful singing.
The time is full of memory
    more full of now and what lays in wait
The passing of the years is too quick
    so for the moment
the hours dance with light and joy
   God laughs and whispers.

God’s Message
I told you I would give you time
   to live in the moment
   to breathe in its beauty of every flower
   to smell the grass after rain
   to hear birdsong and squirrel chatter
   to hum to the waterfall splash
   to feel the heartbeat of the world
before I call you home.

I love this. And not being funny, I am so very grateful for the very coffee I am drinking now. It is a luxury, which I do not often say 'thank you' for. Thank you.
