Wow what a year

Happy Anniversary Darling!

Free Verse on a Prevost

We were riding in the bus on the way to Disney. It was still before 7 in the morning, but the sky was just beginning to lighten. From my angle all I could see was the tops of trees, the mountains, and the sky. It was beautiful. I noticed something about the trees though.

Some of them looked jagged and grasping. They looked like they were trying to reach the sky to pull it down. The clawing hands were just holding on to life. They were looking for something, anything, to hold onto. I’m not sure why, (maybe because I had only had 5 hours of sleep), but those trees just looked so sad to me.

Some other trees were a type of evergreen I’ve seen before that just has green at the very top. They looked like they had caps on, blocking them from the sky. Something was keeping them from seeing the morning. They just ended so abruptly, like there was a ceiling or something.

But the other trees I saw made my heart happy. They had lost all their leaves, yet they still looked open and full. They rejoiced in the dawn light.

Then the dawn came. After the previous day that had been so dark and ugly, we started our long trip on an absolutely gorgeous morning.



Free Verse on a Prevost
You made everything in this world so different, yet so the same
The beauty of creation amazes me
I meditate on the gifts you’ve given me
The gift of sight
The gift of sound
Listening to hymns and blues
Morning light shines on my face
I praise you for song written by man
And song sung by creation
Thank you
