"GOD IS"

GOD IS...
In every puffy cloud,
In all the rain and snow,
In every thunder roll,
And every lightning show.

GOD IS...
In every blade of grass,
In every leaf and tree,
In every flower petal,
And every busy bee.

GOD IS...
In every stirring...

 silence surrounds me
looking to the left down the tracks
 I see the mountains in the far off distance

O'er flatlands and hills
Through jungles and highlands
For the one to fill

The land lies
Chilled and stilled.
Whether flatlands
Or rolling hills.

Damp, cold, and alone;
She doesn't feel at home.

It's hard to feel at home

Where ears of golden corn reach high
And winding tree-lined lanes pass by,

See the flatlands which stretch away
On a sunny, blue-sky day

In height no other animal, on par
You're the tallest of all seen so far
Though not popular, to me you're a star

Some think you are lean and lanky
But I...

Across the prairie fields 
A stetson pulled down o'er your eyes 
A thoroughbred at your heels 

A shadow cast upon the ground 
Your silhouette I see 
Standing tall,...

I come up from down the mountain
Where the sky is always green
And the trees are a showy pink
Up toward the valley down there.
Often I seldom wonder how
Cat fishes can fly so high
While the birds swim...

Silence took a flight of fancy
