Yes, It's a new poem

Given all the time I now have, one would think I'd be producing so much work, poems, stories, etc.  Well, I wish that were true. 

Today, however, I took a walk in the cool morning air and was so inspired and refreshed. 

For years I have found that I go 'outside' myself when I am in nature, outdoors, away from the confines of society (buildings).  That happened to me this morning.  An open conversation happened between me and my Creator, something that hasn't happened in years.  It took only moments to remember that He is everywhere and in everything, at least in my perception.

This poem was born of that realization.

Everything is You

By Kimberly L McClune

April 19, 2012

Lord, I sense You

In everything.

Nothing is without You.

Hearing You

Trees whispering

As wind moves through,

Bird's song

One calling to another.

New petals

Stretching to the Sun,

Clouds drifting

Across the heavens,

Images of You.

Trees bark

Rough, textured by time

Yet gentle, soft

Sand against the tide,

I touch You.

Sweet floral perfume

Rising from a garden,

Rich, pungent pine

Carried down a mountain

Embody Your essence.

On my palate

Fruits, tart

Refreshing nourishment,

Breads, wholesome,

Crusty yet tender sustenance.

Yes, Lord, everything,

Everything is You.
