Nature Trip

“The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.” Psalm 19:1 of the King James Bible Nature trip propels circuitous mountain trek beckoning ascent toward zenith’s panoramic view ushering footsteps along trails midst pine tree canopies wafting freshness tranquility-redolence while sun-bursts peep radiating hope as cascading crystals from water falls welcome my soul… Reaching verdant summit transcending clouds my heart basks at the firmament, exposed as azure canvas painting fluffy cushion balls spreading cottony feathers and flakes complementing hilly floral terraces glowing with golden and scarlet hues for faith-filled gratitude that exalts the Creator Whose handiwork is perfect.
