The outward action received

The outward action received 
as red cardinals emerges 
singing on top of the bird bath 
releasing heavenly tunes 
while the four of clock 

flowers began to open 
as the church bell chime 
just in time for mass 
the holy spirit lands 
deep inside my heart 

my spirit soars opening 
the church doors only 
God knows why these 
flowers opened and closed
the holy trinity's now exposed

Dear Yolanda, I loved how you beautifully captured the divine presence in the simplest moments of nature and worship.The imagery of red cardinals singing atop the bird bath and flowers opening just as the church bell chimes evokes a spiritual connection and reverence. Your words are filled with a deep sense of faith and wonder as you reflect on the presence of the Holy Spirit in the world around you. It's the sacredness found in everyday miracles and the mystery of divine grace. Magnificent work!- Blessings, Daniel
