A New Point of View

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I woke this morning wracked with woe,

But too tired to weep;
Days filled with too many cares,
And nights with little sleep.
 
I needed to see your face, Lord,
Or maybe hear your voice,
But I had no time for a chat
And thus, I had no choice.
 
I faced the day, I headed out,
My tears began to spill,
“I need you Lord”, my heart cried out,
“I need to see you still.”
 
Then, through the blurring of my tears,
I thought I saw your face
Within the colors of a leaf...
I felt a calming grace.
 
And as I looked, I saw you there
In every passing tree.
From within their vibrant hues,
I saw you smile at me.
 
Then I saw your face once again,
Within the misty sun,
And, when I smiled, you smiled right back
Like we were having fun.
 
I heard your voice within the rain
That pattered a sweet tune,
I heard it in the swirling trill
Of a melodic loon.
 
I saw you in the great beauty
Created by your name
And realized I’ll never view
This world as quite the same.
