~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Break of day, silence glistens on the petals
pensive dew adorning the daisies,
roses breaking through the sun’s gaze
gesturing to the azaleas with all their blossoms
lost beyond the hues in hesitation,
a song plays as the birds serenade the dawn
and endless memories of a gardener
fall over the soul who God Himself nurtured
planting, growing, pruning…
winds hesitate on the maze of reflective plants,
from the naïve, immature stems
leaves glistening with hope for the days
when laughing sunrises and twilight
erase the darkest dread, restore the joyous
sensing the need for endless grace, serenity
washing away the dust from the past
and refilling the empty days with life’s tears,
the wishes raking back the leaves of last year
the earth’s decay, the grief of yesterday…
while my heart races, taking chances
love becomes more than the distant hope
it glows on my thoughts, it abides
inside my heart, glistening in the moments
teardrops and dewdrops mix together
in the garden of my faith, where He lives
always welcoming, always listening, forgiving
even the sins that I might not see,
the sins that were birthed inside me.
sins who silence me with a shame that bleeds
through my life – oh, but for His sacrifice….
still as the summer’s light,
flowing on the distant skies
a music, melody of glorious life
sent to us by the One who is –
everything, all that we need
the reason for our peace
the cause of our belief,
the purpose of each destiny
He is the reason that I can see
- though I was once blind,
His love frees me, so I can see…
Inside the heart, there lives and breaths
Love so beautiful, so still, so sweet
A gentle that I always seek
Wonder of love who grieves
for the light who grows each leaf,
in the garden where He plants
love that enriches souls
with hope and faith
that forever knows…
In His Garden, love grows and grows!
