for L.L. [Solace pt. 1]

The Solace of Nature [the organic temple of Yahweh]

it never takes long
to get caught up in You
this impromptu
stroll
into Your
organic living room
the curtains
made of trees
fallen leaves,
roots,
rocks,
dirt
the carpet & tile floors
of our hangout room
whether I'm aching
flaking,
breaking,
or escaping
I can come to your place
& spend some time
time out of time
I count down the days
till I can be with you
among the trees,
rocks,
and your whispering breezes.
I don't always need You to speak
I just always need to feel
You with me
by choice
don't know why You choose me
but I'm oh so glad
that you do
Thank You for special
moments
moments of awe
moments of swept away-ness
swept away by Your presence
...& all the while You unfold a new moving art display
in the sky
the tent
of Your Organic Temple
