The Shroud

Fog has shrouded the yard and house Yet the sun tries to shed its golden light It is so beautiful this morning The shroud is low but above Is this glorious sky blue sky With polka-dotted cottony clouds With the light of the sun radiating outward I can not see the trees across the road Nor the short distance to creek However I know that they are there Even in my inability to see them I feel this awe inspiring Spirit come over I am in the presence of the Spirit I can feel him surround me The roosters still welcome the sun A few birds sing in the still and damp The crows are calling for their flock to come Dine on the early worms and bugs The Prairie Sunflower just radiates Its golden yellow for me to enjoy I am so glad that I was allowed To have this flower in my yard A pear just fell from the tree Reminding me that fall is here The coolness in the air is wonderful Thank you for this day

Your poem Sara reminds me of the very ether of God's energy that cover love's creation in it's physical manifestation. Girl let that heart continue to have it's way through God's power, as the river of life flows though you. This is a magnificient Libre here lady! Thank you for your most gracious comments today. My Brownie was my baby when I was a wee lad, my pride and joy, he waits for me in love's ether, where my love is stored. Sincerely, love Moses

Brilliant commentary on the power of faith, Sara. Knowing something is there, even though we cannot see it, is the very essence of spiritual belief. Lovely imagery sets the tone for this cool, refreshing day. Love, Carolyn
