Mountain Streams

Mountain Streams (18-205A)

Toes in the water
babbling mountain stream
Frigid to the touch
slowly enter in

Light dances on water
joy sparkles on liquid ice
Feet turn red and veins icy blue
laughter in gurgling cataracts

Again

           Again

Beside rushing streams
He refreshes my soul
peace washes over mind
calmness fills my heart

first day of Fall reflected
off canyon walls
soft colors in afternoon's light
golden shades of aspens turning

mixed scents of pine
with cleansing water
swirling glory of His creation
draws me back to His goodness

Serenity

          Serenity

Mallard quietly plies the mountain pond
Serenity in the moment
Stream serenades my spirit
Water peacefully flows
Trout dance on the calm surface
Lullaby of creation's unity
Longings of soul satisfied
