Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen Poet Lyric

The Wisest Way

Silver skies, green-silhouettes shown –
Artful enchantment God has sown.
Created wisely mysteries, known. 
Hidden hurts hear nature’s groan.

Gentle rains may refresh trees.
Freezing winds a life might seize.
Binding essence to falling leaves.
Shivers shape each life that flees.

Fate soon follows circumstance.
Modern travelers miss the sight.
A near uplifting lost in flight.
Speeds by like a flash of light.

Feeling favored some passers by
Pause and cheer until they die.
Feeling moments…on the fly.
Embracing nature amid its cry.

Let us remember every day.
“Replenish the earth” while on this stay.
Leave habitats for praying prey.
Enjoy our Father’s wisest way.
