Creation Gifts

“And God saw every thing that he had made,

and, behold, it was very good.” (Genesis 1:31a)

 

~ crimson sky, awakening above hushed green earth ~

 

~ grasses swishing, kissed softly by a breeze ~

 

~ dance of yellow butterflies twirling above my head ~

 

~ flash of blue bird, swooping home to its nest ~

 

~ wildflower carpets of blue, red, and blush pink ~

 

~ bovine, sleek black and shiny, gazing at me as I walk ~

 

~ frisky foal, nuzzling for a sweet carrot ~

 

~ aroma of cinnamon earth after a gentle rain ~

 

~ golden setting sun, leaving trails of light across a quiet lake ~

 

~ giant orange saucer moon, surprising me in spring ~
