Reflections
Looking out at the world
Through the eyes of a refreshed spirit
I see things anew
That once I took for granted
Thinking about these things
Thoughts too complex for me to understand
I bow my head in prayer
Thanking my creator for what He's done
As wind ripples throughout the treesa
A chill falls upon me momentarily
Quickly to be replaced
With the warmth of an ever-shining sun
As life continues on around me
Problems begin to seem insignificant
As I think of Jesus' death
And what it ultimately means for me
Trees all around me
Offer an array of colors
Creating a tranquility
That can not be equaled by human design
Sounds of a train
Echo in the distance
Reminding me of the time I live in
And of the advances our society has made
Flowers beside me slowly die
As summer turns to fall
Ending one season of God's creation
And ushering another one in
BIrds sing around me
I know not who or what their song is for
Yet it is simple and sweet
Bringing peace to an unpeaceful soul in the area
I look at the vast sky
It seems to roll on forevermore
Clouds form interesting paterns
As they continue on their journey
Trees reach for the sky
While others stress to reach a few feet
Yet no matter the size
They remind me of God's love
The cross that hovers above us
Again reminds me of God's grace
It is something my mortal mind can not comprehend
But choses to believe in
The size of the community strikes me
Making me laugh
Not because I see humor in it
Rather, it is a laugh of joy
As I think back on these things
A single thought strikes me
And will continue to be on my mind
Where would this beauty be without God?
