Consider the Beauty

Early this week we shut down the furnace and opened the windows at night. The temperature was in the 70’s and 80’s. Today the furnace is running, the windows and doors are closed and it is snowing again. Even so, it is beautiful to watch the snowfall.

Everything about life is beautiful if we only have eyes to see.



Poem Artwork


 Consider the sky as it changes colors and shades to let us know


When we can expect the rain, sleet, hail or snow.


 


Consider the clouds which also reflect the changing weather.


They can be fluffy white or gray or sometimes both together.


 


Consider the snowflake which drifts to the ground.


One makes no matter but watch as thousands come down.


 


As they all flow downward together deflecting the light


They turn the gray sky to a sky of white.


 


Consider the flowers dressed in red, yellow, gold and blue.


I have watched them dance in the field as the spring breeze blew.


 


Consider the tree as it dresses itself for the coming of spring.


It is fully dressed for summer, wearing many shades of green.


 


Consider that same tree as she dresses up for autumn’s arrival


And then prepares herself for winter… she is an icon of survival.


 


Consider all the creation, man is a part all of which by God is blessed.


Consider the God given ability to see past the mountains in the west.


 


See life in all its glory and know we are but a part of something far greater.


From the tiniest seed to the volcano’s great crater.


 


Consider the beauty of the butterfly feeding on a flower so bright.


She takes only its nectar and spreads seeds of delight.


 


Consider how each creature offers something to the balance of life.


It seems we are all married to one another; yes we are as husband and wife.

A beautiful write my friend, reminds me of that song "Consider The Lillies" Your imagery is outstanding and brins your words to life! We too were out in the great outdoors enjoying the sunshine this week with the furnace off, and today the furnace is back on and it's time to pull the blanket back up again tonight! Enjoyed your write as always a pleasure to read!
Blessings,
Joyce Bowling

"It seems we are all married to one another; yes we are as husband and wife."

You are so right, my friend! We must understand the marriage between humankind and nature if we are to survive! Good poem, I enjoyed!

92 in AZ today, Lew. I'm considering putting down the sunshades on the back patio. Love the verse and the memories it invokes. Stay warm...
