I was reading the poetry I've been writing, and I realized that much of it had a decidedly dark or melancholy tone. So I challenged myself to write something full of praise and glory for the Lord. The result is what follows.
----------
Snow falls
Shimmering in the street light
I stand on my balcony
Praising God for this sight
Sound is muted
And a sensation of peace
I close my eyes and pray
This feeling won't cease
Thunderstorm rages
The sky is ablaze
Night becomes day
You continue to amaze
With each passing moment
Your power is clear
Lightning and thunder
Only wonder, not fear
Brilliant sunlight
Cascades down from above
Clouds are scarce
Warmth and proof of your love
So much of His beauty
Do I see coming through
An opportunity not many take
For a heavenly view
Sinking low in the sky
The sun provides a show
Gorgeous colors only you can paint
The evening horizon aglow
I am transfixed, Lord
By all your earthly works
If we only stop to look
It's one of life's perks
Now playing: Third Day - I Can Feel It
