Wilderness Prayers - 2
Nature breathes peace through the whisper of leaves, the tenderness of a silent breeze, the roar of thunder and even the rain’s sincerity. Nature breathes harmony. ~ by poet
Let me tell you a story… about a land of hope
There, on the shores of promises,
Standing taller than tall – the way to cope
Rustling leaves fall at her feet,
Whispering away the chill, calm air
Autumn singing through the leaves, blending
Colors of boldest crimson and tangerine
Gold so brilliant it lingers on the heart
Encouraging the blessings that are so alive
During the harvest, when souls are spellbound
By heavenly halos of buttered corn, apples
And the sing song dances of branches
Awaiting the final leaf’s falling to the ground
Yes, winter will come and with it
The silence of fresh fallen snows and memories
Haunting the spirit with tender breaths
Clinging to the sharp pores of this impression
Where crisp chilly air seems to beckon
The heart outdoors, into the unsoiled world
A winter wonderland, so alive and so perfectly
Breathtaking in every way, with every prayer
Spring unlocks the treasures of God’s paintbrush
With vibrant hues of golden-haired petals
And lively, lush scarlet, purple and lavender
All the colors so vivid and dramatic, like a shout
To the heart – ringing with melodies so enchanting
Magnificent thoughts rush to the surface
A mind hypnotized by nature, the miracles, the feeling
Inside those who know that nature is God’s great blessing
To all the spirits who long for His heaven on earth
