Prayer On A Forest Walk

Prayer on a forest walk

Lord, the beauty of your symmetry, mixed with apparent randomness, gives me joy to behold it all. Thank you. May this same symmetry be nurtured in my thoughts and in my actions, in this social world of apparent randomness and perversion and idolatry. I worship only you Lord. You will take care of the rest. Your joy brings peace to my soul and my thoughts. Let me be sweet to others as You are sweet to me; sweet words coming from the Word, creator of all that is good and natural.

POPLARS

The fluttering, bright, green leaves
Were hacking their way through the wind,
Clattering as only poplars can;
Those poplars,
Tall havens for bickering starlings,
Were waving endlessly to
The bright blue sky;
Constant friends
To heaven and us creatures of the earth,
Never stopping to ask
What the other’s worth.

Cy. August, 1983.
