A peaceful walk through the many fields of abundance in this life
Rare beauty easily seen woven into such intrigue of mystery
Flowers and butteflies
Men and women and children, ourselves;
A hummingbird sips on a backyard feeder one cold and frosty morning
The eyes watch, the heart tugs at purpose and deepest meaning
Yet, the body, the mind in the world pulls away
Lets go of these precious moments when we marvel,
Stand in awe as children, child-like once more
While hands of trust take hold of what draws us near,
Riches the world cannot offer
True wealth hidden, ready to be sown,
A gift that patiently waits
Quietly as early morning dew
Sparkles of jewels, silver and gold upon the earthly grasses;
Even time stands still
Then steps aside for the greater reality of a jeweled crown
A kiss of Heaven's Truth sweet upon the lips
Upon the spirit and the scars of this life,
Beauty that lasts, drapes as a delicate robe about the shoulders,
Heavenly clothing simply unmatched.
But those relentless voices shout and cry out
To envy the famed stars, and rich of the world
To desire the focus and wealth of the few
Who stand alone in pride, and often with fear
Who parade appetites that widen and lengthen
Until the earth is drowned once more,
And all spirit sensitivity is forever lost!
Social media bombards with the base need for gratification
Our voice of ego that others will hear,
Also our image to be seen for a moment.
But many have discovered the humble path
These who choose to drink from a most gracious cup
Living Water given freely,
Wisdom showers down and rests within the heart
The sharpest swords flash with brilliance
The words of every prayer are heard, and answered;
Men and women who seek more than gold
Who search for true love, lasting beauty in strength
Are in righteous embrace of the greatest gift of Emmanuel,
Revelation of His Peace, His Spirit
God's timeless present, gift to all who will unwrap it,
Who ask, who seek and who knock on His door.
