SIMPLICITY

The day is set to begin and there
is so much to get done
Yet here I sit basking in the warmth
of the morning sun
Piercing it's way through gaps and
crevices and such
Making it's presence known by it's
merest touch
I close my eyes taking it all in
Every sound  - every feeling
I hear the birds singing as they fly
about in the morning sky
Dogs in the neighborhood barking
sounding so close by
A precious moment void of hope
nor care
Simply adoring the presence of God
in the morning air
There is a gentle breeze I feel the
tingle upon my skin
Life seems so surreal right now and
I'm ready for the day to begin
Thank you Lord for the beauty in
the simple things
If life is to be lived then I take joy
in all that this moment brings...
