A Poem by Deborah Rutherford
Early morn dons, the sky, and her majestic hues
stretch out across the horizon and beyond
as the sun ascends, rays of glory.
See me
A symphony of water splashes,
spray perfumes senses;
like holy towers, these deep forest trees.
Feel me
A celestial dance where the whole world watches something God
made, not man: Eclipse.
Watch me
Winter lays down her velvet garment
to rest and delight, deep in her snow.
Rest with me
Like jewels across the lawn,
a second spring blushes the maples and oaks.
A gift for you
A cry entered the world,
emerging from liquid womb.
You are good
And every spring rebirth and new growth
where the Cross made spring eternal.
I Am
Days lengthen in summer’s caress
where butterflies and sunflowers follow the sun.
I am the Way
Like the first dawn,
how can we not know of God
when His love is everywhere?
