Beata Agustin Poet Blank verse

Gracious Bounty of God

I love the smell* of God’s gracious bounty
Freely exuding pure leafy-green scent
Breathing out Creator’s fragrance, so fresh 
Oozing great nature’s delightful perfume 
Enriching paradise breeze with good health.

I love the sound of God’s gracious bounty
Chirping birds in tune with gushing rivers
Soothing zephyr wafts serenity-bliss
Cicadas’ symphony serenades swell
Surpassing crickets’ concert with pleasure.

I love the taste of God’s gracious bounty
Fruity, savoury meals, mouth-watering
Gustatory buds victoriously blend
Midst sumptuous feast enriched with sweet thoughts
In a wondrous picnic at Eden’s park.

I love the touch of God’s gracious bounty
Warm caress from heavenly sunshine rays 
Foot therapy along great sandy trek
Exhilarating water falls’ embrace
Secured rejuvenation-engulfment.
 
My heart thanks God for His gracious bounty:
Creation’s smell of perfect redolence 
Nature-sounds reverberating praises
Flavorful zest toward well-being taste
Divine touch assuring the Lord’s presence.

*Philippians 4:18 … A sweet smell … acceptable, wellpleasing to God.
