Poem In The Park

I went to Lake Bonny Park for this assigned trip, and I stayed for at least 45 minutes for a nature and poem experience.  This activity is kinda what I already love to do. Sit quietly engaging in God’s presence with nature.  In class I check off 10 activities in ways to engage with nature in daily life. So I definitely enjoyed this, the “spiritual practices” however, the step taken were a little different then what I normally do.  And reading poetry I was a new twist. I normally don’t read anything when I’m with nature unless I’m reading my bible. This was a very calming a great reflecting and encounter activity. It did get a little distracting with all the other people around but over all it was great!  Sitting in the grass by a tree and experienced God through one of His many beautiful creations, giving me the ability to create a poem.

Intimate meeting of minds

These definitely bind

Dark rich soil consume my feet and starts to wrap

The grass grows deep with in this tender trap

The seed which now resides is the heart of this flower

Blossom and bloom and don’t lack power

Let the wind take over like a Holy Ghost shower

Be like Christ the lamb and the Lion

Full of life like the dandelion

Oh creation radiates like a symphony

But the “one” whispers remember me! Creator of all things

Not responsible for the worldly blings!

But the unfailing morning sting of the birds never ending praise sing

So stoic and poised

The tree stands

But underneath it is the roots that go down deep and brand

Going with life so simple with peace like the birds and the bee’s

All creation waits for Thee

Intimate meeting of minds

These definitely bind

That God has made nature one of a kind.
