A spring of wonder
April came with ice and snow
Treasured moments of solitude
Long awaited in a Minnesota
Hermitage clothed in frost and white
One last snow
Deer searching for food
By May seeds planted in soft soil
Rain soaked fields
Drenching downpour
Leaves sparkle with showers
Behold the loveliness even
In the midst of storm winds
Puddles abound yet
Red Poppies open as
Sun shines on
Velvet green grass
Beauty surrounds us
How awesome is our God
You expressed your thoughts so beautifully, Sister Jeannette.
ReplyDeleteI just read a quote by Laura Ingalls Wilder today where she marveled, "Why is the world so beautiful if not for us?"
I feel closer to God in nature more than anywhere, for His handiwork is a wonder to behold, and His creativity astounds me.
