Nature Poems

Purging

Clouds close in as rumbles come,

flashes streak across dark sky.

Droplets grow and dance on roof,

glazing windows in steady sheets.

Tree leaves drink sweet moisture,

flowers bath in summer's burst.

Gentle breeze cools hardened ground,

greenery blooms from heavenly purge.

Blessing lowly earth with rain,

how much more precious is man?

Your mercy, peace, love and joy,

pour across our wounded souls.

Nurturing our faith and trust,

in eternal wisdom and grace.

Life's storms need to happen,

purging us to grow in God's love.

Time's Tide

Praying the length of day will last.

Minutes, hours disappear much too fast.

Fate cruelly never allows time to stop.

Gleaning from life's many fruitful crops.

Fool's approach on wasted seconds spend.

Silent timings of the clock comprehend.

What I choose for each minute to become.

Adding or subtracting to Love's total sum.

How precious life's moments are to abide.

Love is a gift immersed in time's tide.

Summer's Treasure

Golden sunshine baths the day,

warm breezes stir jade leaves.

Birds soar across sapphire sky,

elemental smells grace the air.

Under shade giving boughs,

paused on an emerald ocean.

A chipmunk suddenly darts away,

bees labor amongst garden riches.

Topaz sunflowers towering over

roses waxed in ruby reds.

Silvery doves coo in union

as jeweled insects take flight.

All the beauty I drink in,

quenching my weary soul.

For an afternoon so sweet

in treasure, thank-you God!

Autumn's Love

I remember in October

walking along the beach.

Feeling the cool breeze

as it swirled my hair.

You patted the sand

with your feet while

sitting on a large

piece of driftwood.

Then smiled and laughed,

we blew soap bubbles.

One for each year

of my being here.

Sun kissed the waves

as sea gulls scurried

along the lake shore,

celebrating life too.

A passing of hearts

never again to be

in season, Autumn's love

etched upon my soul.
