A Detour

On my way home from visiting with a dear friend, I was enjoying the beauty of the full moon and stars. As well as the gusty winds blowing me all over the road!!! So I stopped to watch the wind & moonlight play on the lake.
As I stood there a poem worked its way through my mind. So I quickly dashed back to the car to escape the frigid wind and write:

Winds wildly thrashing,
Waves furiously crashing,
Thunder rolling over the water.
Lightening on display for all to see.
A sound & light symphony.

Winds gently blowing,
Snow all around me.
Ice covering every branch & stem,
Glistening like diamonds in the sunlight.
A winter wonderland.

Sun brightly shining,
Warmth all around me.
Trees & plants in full bloom,
With colours on display for all to see.
A picture painted for me.

"God's glory is on tour in the skies, God-craft on exhibit across the horizon. Madame Day holds classes every morning, Professor Night lectures each evening. Their words aren't heard, their voices aren't recorded, But their silence fills the earth: unspoken truth is spoken everywhere.  ...That's how God's Word vaults across the skies from sunrise to sunset, Melting ice, scorching deserts, warming hearts to faith."
- Psalm 19:1-4,6 The Message
