Dressed in Splendor

     I have gotten into the Book of Psalms which is about words of music or poetry that offer up feelings to God.  As I read, I decided to put together my own words of feelings.  So here they are.

                                      Dressed in Splendor

Lord, from North to South, East and West, your wonders are eloquently dressed;

  The snowy mountain peaks, the raindrops that grace my cheeks,
  The flowering meadows, the woodland shadows,
  The bubbling brooks, the waters seeping into creeks and nooks,
  The shimmering sand of the desert floor, and so much more.
The miracle of your hand is seen across the land;
  The oceans deep, bordered in sleep,
  The light of morning shimmering loud or cast in fair or menacing cloud,
  The stars, the moon, commanding the night in peaceful tune.
You, O Lord, are over it all;
  The barren trees of winter to the summer ones dressed in splendor,
  The flowering blossoms of spring and all your love brings.
  The winds, the rains, the storms obey your call,
The wonders of your hand are set by your command;
  The flocks, the herds, all creatures, and matter of birds,
  The fish of the sea, all mortals that be.
Lord, from North to South, East and West, your wonders are eloquently dressed.
