[NaPoWritMo–Day 27–Ekphrastic poem] [April 2014 PAD Challenge–Day 27]
Creation reveals the Creator
I gaze upon the ocean with her mighty roar,
while above me the eagle does soar.
A crab, which is a work of Your Own Hands,
is displayed for me upon the sands,
as I walk and think and pray,
I give You thanks for every day.
Thanks for the sun that shines and the moon’s fair light,
the trees that shade and the stars at night.
You made it all and called it good,
in six short days, as only You could.
As I look around me and bless Your name,
I must remember Your greatest acclaim,
the image of Yourself, created in others and me,
people, reflecting Your beauty for all to see.

Thankful
Walking though the leaves
On this gorgeous day of Fall
I pause and give thanks
For the trees and their beauty
For my eyes that I can see

The Sounds of Fall
Ah, the sounds of Fall.
Birds gathering to fly south,
Chatter as they flock,
And the trees rustle their leaves,
In tune with the wind’s music.

Sensing the Season
Beautiful fall day
Artistically painted trees
In various hues
Beckon me to pause awhile
And my five senses rejoice

Summer’s Last Hurrah
The last rose of summer
Competes with the red maple
August’s farewell

Early Fall?
Maples are turning.
I see red, yellow, orange.
It’s too soon! Too soon!
