Darlene Gifford Poet Rhyme

Seeing God In Nature

I am God.
In the quiet of night,
I am there.
In nature's red sunset,
I watch you sit and stare.
When you wrap your arms
around a majestic oak,
listen, in your heart, I spoke.
I send wind that rustles through earth's leaves,
and past crops rippling in the breeze.
Each new day, I rise in a blue sky,
and send you flashing silver rays.
That's me waving "Hi!"

Delice Arleen Skelly August 2, 2015 at 5:23 AM This is a lovely poem, you have managed to incorporate all the words that were required. The result: a delightful read. Best wishes~Delice Darlene Gifford August 2, 2015 at 8:20 AM Hi, Delice, I haven't heard from you in a while. Thanks for reading this poem. My poems where I write about God, don't do well in contests, or sometimes, I don't even make the list! But we'll see! I hope you're right. Someone wrote a nice poem about butterflies in nature. So why not God who make the butterflies! Anyway, if you and others like this poem, then that is gratifying to me. ~~Darlene
