Pirouettes

Thou morning sun, ye stars and orb of night, ye daunting winds inducing clouds to roll proclaim thy Maker’s beauty, grace, and might; thy pirouettes declare His firm control.

I love the contrast in that last line: soft pirouttes vs. his firm control. Great entry from you, my friend.

I so appreciate your dropping by Laura, especially since you are one of my favorite wordsmiths of nature. Can you tell I borrowed some wording from the hymnal? Have a wonderful day, my friend ~ John
