The storm has passed
Refreshing raindrops rest like
Dew upon the grass.
A breath of wind rustles
Hanging leaves—
Gentle breeze.
Swallows swoop low
Gliding over greening grass
First fast, then slow
Chirping sparrows, squeaky crows
Woodpeckers hammering holes
It’s another morning
The storm has passed
God has given peace, hope,
Rest.
A family of red headed woodpeckers
Moved into my neighborhood last year.
The joy they brought me is hard to measure
God’s red headed wonder, proclaims creation every morning.
Thanks for sharing, Larry! The infinite creativity of God is amazing.
