NATURE
I love the outdoors,
To hear birds sing, a waterfall.
To see the stars at night,
And swim in the ocean
With rolling waves.
All this, and more,
I have known.
To feel a strong wind
Makes my spirit soar,
Over clouds, and an ocean of white;
A carpet of forest green.
All this, and more,
I have seen.
A walk in the woods,
Where serenity dwells,
To wait, and be still,
And soon know her well.
In the cool of evening,
To hear Nature's song,
On a high mountain,
Or a sandy shore,
I'd be at home once more.
CLOUDS
Carriers of rain,
Majestic in framing the Heavens,
Showing colors of light,
In the Sun's daily flight.
Soft, white as feathers, floating.
Angry, churning, dark portents of storm.
Not ruled by time, terrible fury from calm,
When the Ruler of the Universe speaks.
As companion of dreams,
Midst night and moon's glow,
Somber, purple mountains,
Gray seas in the sky.
Then, from dreams of night,
Is born the day.
When called into Heaven,
Will you carpet our path,
Your shade cool us, refresh us with rain?
Will we dwell in your softness, safe and secure,
Together with our Lord once again.
