The Breath of God

Listen carefully every morning,
you hear the breath of God.

Be attentive to the birds' symphony,
the melodious hum of bees
the wish wash of the breakers
that blast the rocks down near the sea.

Hush, that's the wind whispering,
as clouds race overhead in laughter
eager to reach the lofty hills
where trees bow down their heads
and leaves rustle in tonal patterns,
a gentle lilting rhythm to soothe
my turbulent thoughts. 

Is it a wonder then 
that with each noise 
at break of dawn,
my thoughts turn to You
Oh, my dear loving God?

This is special with a reverent ending and a plea for beauty on earth. Your verse seems to pen like a prayer. I enjoy its strength.

The breath of God incarnated in His Grace and blessings.. displayed in the sublime Nature.. in the silent power of hills and mountains.. in the wonder of hissing sounds of His tiny living creatures.. in the hidden signs only decrypted by the gifted and blessed, in the unfathomable depths of oceans and blue seas.. in the echo of the inner sound of Faith in a poet of grandeur and humility whose soul serene enough to see, feel and embrace the breath of God! Dear Victor, one of your best poetry I am rejoicing now! So deep, so beautiful so serene.. Your powerful poetic words and thoughts have touched the core of my soul.. Thank you so much for sharing such a Gem of Faith and insight. God bless you.
