The Echo of God

The crash of the waves,
sound on Lake Champlain.

Whispers of the trees,

wind blowing through their leaves.

Sunrays shine on planted gardens,

maturing Fall flowers bloom.

Vibrant autumn mums,

of varying shades and hues.

Perfection of green turf,

complement rainbows of flowers.

A fragrant burst before first frost,

ducks sing in praise on water.

The hum of bumble bees.

Working butterflies in flight.

Glimpse of love’s embrace.

The tug of gliding kites.

Birds fly high above.

People stop to stare in awe.

The beauty of this land.

The brilliance of His hand.

In every breath, sway, color, scent, sound, whisper, and each silent moment,

therein lies the echo of God.
