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
