Castles in the Sky: October 23, 2012

He Does...

I wrote this poem a few years ago during a trip to see fall foliage. All around me was beauty touched by God’s paintbrush; hues that Crayola couldn’t begin to dream up. The poem seemed appropriate for today’s blog as autumn leaves have reached their peak in many parts of our country.

HE DOES

On a stroll through the woods,

sun shimmering, splashing

leaves of heavenly hues…

Their colors so new that

they’d not yet been named…

The old St Joe River,

flowed swift to my right,

constant and sure

in an uncertain world.

A crisp gust of wind,

and an oak shed its cloak…

Soaring geese in formation

honked their farewells…

I gazed at it all

feeling trivial, minute…

In the grand scheme of things

I am naught.

Could the God who

arrayed that glorious display

love, care and

think about me?

Then from inside my soul

came a deep calming voice,

assuring this child

that He does. ©

As you take in the view, rake up big piles of leaves for children to jump in, and brew up tasty apple cider please remember to give thanks to God for the magnificence of His creation.

Blessings and love,

Michelle Close Mills
