Nature's Signals

The light changes colors 'fore my eyes
Gentle breezes waft fresh scents past my nose
Nature's signals all truth, never lies
   Morning's dew refreshes barefoot toes

Brilliant sunrise, soars high my spirit
Cool moonlit night, so uplifting
The ocean's roar in a seashell, I hear it
   A leaf floats down a stream, drifting

Angry clouds darken the sky, rumbling
Swirling winds rage through the trees
Sheets of rain from Heaven, tumbling
   At times Nature terrifies me --  

Yet I welcome every sight and each sound
   May God keep me long above ground

I started reading and I said to myself, "I am loving this but what in the world did Gershon title this?" I immediately rushed to see, and it is perfect too.

Well, thank you, Ma'am. … Truth be told, I wasn't completely satisfied with the title... :) gw

I had almost forgotten how grass felt early in the morning to a bare footed child. I used to love that. Ah. Great memories. Thanks for the reminder. Have a great day my friend.

Yeah, it's too long ago, isn't it, David? We don't get to go back and visit either. Sigh. Thanks for the feedback, David! :) gw
