Whispering morning
Quiet, lovely.
Barely sounding,
Wind blows softly.
Sparrow twitters
Sweet melody.
Dawn glitters
Sunlight splendidly.
Mind calm
Heart at rest.
Reading a Psalm
Receiving God’s best.
Joy overflow
Strength renewed.
The world aglow
His glory revealed.
Praying aloud.
Heavenly kiss.
Presence of God.
My morning bliss!

A smell; a fragrance in the air
A sense, something on its way
A feeling in my bones
A distant sound, barely heard
Pitter pat, pitter pat
A clink, a clang
Tap, tap, tap
Pitter pat, pitter pat
Tires on wet pavement
Rushing winds
Drumming on roof tops
Grass glistening green Read more…
Pumpkins, squash, dried corn
Yellow leaves, red and orange
Windy blustery days
Walking through a corn maze
Flowers fading, some brown
Fields a golden crown
Trees once lush now bare
Sparrows don’t seem to care Read more…
Brilliant path glowing white
Lined with purple flowers
Stunning contrast with the night
The stars were like showers
Is this a dream? I thought
What place am I?
A hand appeared and waved about
Bidding me come nigh Read more…
Hazy sky
Bits of blue
Sea gull cry
Amazing view
Crashing waves
Jagged rocks
Watery caves
Shell strewn spots
Emerald grass
Yellow flowers sway
Violet mass
Ocean gray
Birds twitter
Seals bark
Boardwalk clatter
Squirrels dart
Sandy beach
Foaming swells
Driftwood bleached
Pelican yells
Air so fresh
Wind cool
Kelp mesh
Tidal pool
Sandy cliffs
Creviced gold
Pines stiff
Crooked, old
Rippling glitter
Sun bursts through
Radiant splendor
Water turns blue
Reflecting Creator
His majesty
Wondrous beauty
He made for you and me!

It’s a beautiful rose
Color of a kitten’s nose
Precious lips of a babe
Tingling skin after a shave
Big wad of bubble gum
cheeks after too much sun
Glitter on fingernails
Pretty lacy curtain veils
Sky radiant at sunset
Piping on a bassinet
Flamingo on one leg standing
Happy puppy tongue panting
Fuzzy wuzzy circus bear
Cotton candy at a fair
Newly born piglet
Watermelon at a picnic
Little girl hair bows
Tulips planted all in rows
Warm glow of Mom’s cheeks
Soft words that she speaks
Dad’s strong yet gentle hug
Jesus’ heart full of love
Prayers going up to heaven
Knowing that I’m forgiven
Falling in a hammock of grace
This is the blessing place!

Hazy light
Sun low in sky
Longer night
Summer flowers dim and die
Harvest of corn
Bales of hay
Fields look falorn
Pine trees sway
But, Orange galore!
Gourds and pumpkins abound
Woody fragrance I adore
Rusty red all around
Magnificent display
Trees painted many colors
Golden leaves at play
Zinnias boasting, crow hollers
Big leafy piles
Bright yellow and gold
Children’s smiles
Jumping in never old
Such beauty I see
Amazing transformation
Feel like it’s all for me
The wonders of God’s creation!

Green all around
Sun warms my toes
Distant airplane sound
Pepper plants in a row
Tiny moth flies by
Lits upon oregano
Bird takes to the sky
Bee can’t decide where to go
Palms waving in the breeze
Dragon flies gracefully dance
Neighbor lets go a sneeze
Line of marching ants
Thump! a ripe plum falls
Butterfly finds a yellow flower
Far away a mother calls
Behind a stately cypress tower
Lemon tree loaded with fruit
Bows to the ground
Lots of red tomato loot
No cucumbers to be found
Pool glistens in the light
Sparrow song bursts forth
Two flies pick a fight
Noisy crows head out north
Another lovely garden day
Filled with gifts from above
He pours out a joyful ray
As I talk with my God of love

Water slapping
Bird chirping
Whistle, twitter
Boat dock sitter
Children laughing
Soft breeze blowing
Bobbers afloat
Loud motorboat
Tall pines waving
Butterflies playing
Lots of rocks
Wet socks
Wild flowers bloom
Bees zoom
Giant ants scouting
Someone shouting
Sky so blue
Gorgeous view
Rustic mountains
River fountains
Flies riot
Suddenly quiet
I feel free
Sun warms me
Heart at peace
Sweet release
God’s presence near
His voice I hear

What is that lovely scent,
Blossoms of lemon or orange tree?
No, it’s much more than that;
Enticing, comforting, sweet, free!
The air around me is filled.
It wraps me like a shawl.
Glorious whiffs of beauty
Nothing’s like it at all.
God’s presence in my garden;
The smell of holy incense.
So close I feel I can touch Him
Like I’m resting on His chest.
Oh, what an amazing experience,
To breathe His wondrous perfume.
Joy and Peace overwhelm me;
His Love like drenching dew.
The grass suddenly greener.
The flowers electric hues.
The trees glowing life radiant.
I’m caught in His grandeur.
Too soon the fragrance fades
And the sense of His presence departs.
Now, a normal garden day.
Still, Jesus’ touch lingers in my heart.
