-- Nature Qualified --

­­John Herlihy

 

The tranquility of water

The stillness of air

The blessing of rain

The peace of snow

 

The beauty of patience

The intimacy of love

The strength of courage

The promise of hope

 

The mystery of a mirage

The miracle of a rainbow

The mystique of the stars

The magic of moonglow

 

The wetness of dew

The dryness of sand

The sound of thunder

The silence of lightning

 

The whiteness of clouds

The blueness of sky

The lightness of day

The darkness of night

 

The form without

The substance within

The music of sound

The rhythm of music

 

The artistry of a seashell

The fragility of the spider web

The design of a flower

The perfume of the rose

 

The perfection of the pearl

The light of the firefly

The roundness of the world

The design of the butterfly

 

The gentleness of flower petals

The roughness of the sea wave

The brightness of the sun

The coolness of the moon

 

A crack in the shell

Reveals a mystery to tell

Within the seed lies power

To add perfume to the flower

 

With nature qualified

The universe sanctified

INDEED, A SYMPHONY OF PERPETUAL REVEALINGS AND GROWTH...SET IN MOTION AND KEPT SO...BY THE CREATOR HIMSELF. BUT WHAT REALLY ASTOUNDS ME IS...NO MATTER HOW AMAZINGLY BEAUTEOUS NATURE APPEARS TO US...WE ARE ONLY BEHOLDING A 'GLIMPSE' OF HOW BREATHTAKINGLY GORGEOUS IT REALLY IS! AMEN. AND THANKS FOR SHARING, MY FRIEND. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIOINDEED,

And what mysteries will you write about tomorrow. It made me think about things I really haven't taken the time to marvel at. I liked this.
