Absorbed In Wonder
by Raindrops trickle from velvet soft roses by the gate Ladybugs struggle to keep a grip on moistened leaves Butterflies flutter their feather-light wings And mottled stalks assent to the rising breeze. Beyond the path that leads to the meadow, Sparrows take flight from their nesting trees Creating rain-soaked leaves to glisten like shattered mirrors And sunrays capture the essence of the after rain. Honeysuckle saturates the air with its perfume Mingling with the simple freshness of dampened earth, That fills the air with splendour and His goodness And penetrates the senses with pure simplicity. Robins sing their chorus to the retreating storm Fleeting clouds drift across the distant sky, While trailing shadows chase the thinning haze And disappear into carefree sunbeams along the rise. Unfurling colours spread as ribbons above the trees Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet Etching an archway across the clearing heavens And embracing the distant hills with the perfect kiss. I close my eyes to soak up the enchanting beauty Tranquil moments fill my thirsty soul, His blessed peace flows through my inner being And imprints the perfect scene within my mind.
