trees
blooming
varied thrush
whistle flutelike
chime in the shadow
daisy-rise sigh
rose come up.
you're late
burst
moon
grace us
with spring gift
and silver touch
on warm river's nights
spring awake us
from winter
send bird
songs

Would You rather I be in church today
Or enjoying the enchantment of Your creation
Mesmerized, I inhale nature’s fragrance
Bible on my lap, open to Psalm 19:1
As the shy, golden Thrush
Emulates a chorister
Declaring the work of Your hands
His flutelike voice resonates
Bestowing music through the forest
Here I feel closer to You, Lord
Than I do within brick walls
Your majesty surrounds me
Accept my prayer of gratitude
For the splendor of Your gift
Life in every plant, every creature
I linger here for hours
