I thought of you today
as I walked the dry fields
and watched rolling clouds gather
for the coming night, thought
of how you said
there is no pit so deep
that he is not deeper still,
thought of scoffers
who have not seen
what we have witnessed,
who cannot hear the unheard
and my heart was sad.
It is easier for them
to believe in aliens,
in governments,
in machines,
in the evolution of humanity,
than to trust in Love.
I thought of you today,
of how you froze and died
of starvation and disease,
flea infested and forgotten,
thought of how your love
traveled an ocean to touch
a child.
An utterly “wow” piece. Oh, if only we look with eyes of love, what beauty we see life as…
It’s a sobering piece. Puts things into perspective. (And yes, it made me quite sad, too.)
mayhaps forgotten, but whose lasting effects transcend
Going to the smokies this weekend
figure I should see them while they still exist
“Figure I should see them while they still exist”….amen, Ozy.
They were beautiful last time I was there and I had to be dragged out. I don’t like Dollywood or Gatlinburg or any of the fan fare stuff, but I liked the woods, streams, mountains, rocks and trees.
