Twitters and flutters
Soaring and flying
Darting hoppers
Jumping and fighting
Eyeing Bugs
Splashing in waters
Pecking at slugs
Fence top squatters
Busy beauty
Colorful wings
Nesting duty
Joyfully sings
Thanking God
With amazement
Must applaud
Such grand entertainment!

Could the sky be more blue?
It’s so clear today
Could the flowers be a more lovely hue?
They are at their peak today
All the greens seem even more so
Verdant boughs with fruit
Plump lemons swing to and fro
Cherries wear a bright red suit
Palm tree’s hands reach up high
As if to praise our King of kings
Thanking Him with each sway and sigh
While a bird to His glory sings
This garden visit lifts my soul
With the palms and birds I praise
Lord Jesus makes me whole
To Him my hands I raise!

Poem inspired by scenery on a recent drive through the Las Vegas Valley
Mountains red and jagged
Jutting from the desert floor
Surrounded by stark beauty
Joshua trees, rocks, cacti galore
Can’t take my eyes away
Each peak a work of art
Carved out by the hand of God
Awe and joy fill my heart!

Though life is challenging right now, our God is still blessing us with the beauty of His creation. Today as I woke up I marveled at the wonders of His sunshine invading my room and wrote this poem. Praying that it blesses you and reminds you to thank God for every gift He gives us to help us through this difficult time worldwide…
Light then shadows
Blinking and sparkles
Shapes wall dancing
Sunshine playing
Warmth invades
Peeking through shades
Morning has come
New day dawn
Lifted my eyes
Clear blue skies
What beautiful view
Lord God, thank you!

Â
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!

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!

Rough-hewn, wind carved
Gnarly bark,no pattern alike
Leaning a bit to the east
Giant pines stand guard
Water slapping at their feet
Reflecting their majestic boughs
Strewn rock adorns the shore
Jagged cliff an eagle’s seat
So blue the water and sky!
How deep the hue of both
One clear, no clouds at all
The other ripples, boats go by.
Sunshine warms the sandy beach
Making it so golden
Boulders blackened with time
Sit proudly past my reach
What a lovely place to be
Warm sun, cool breeze
Surrounded by God’s creation
His glory vast and free
My sense of Him ignited
My heart overwhelmed
My mind finally calm
His arms around me tightened
Leaning against His chest
So quiet, so much love
This earth just disappears
This must be His Holy rest!
