3/10/2012 - God Is

I sat alone as close to nature as I could get in South Florida today, at a nature center.  I closed my eyes and willed myself to quiet the sounds around me and relax my thoughts, seeking poetic inspiration from my environment, from God and from my spirit with me.

I did not hear, but perceived and understood that God was speaking to my inmost being and simply said, "I am"..."I am the wind thru the trees."

When I was done with my contemplation I wrote:

                                             I AM

                                              I am the wind thru the trees

                                              The apple blossom on fragrant breeze

                                              A solitary sunbeam on a cloudy day

                                              The rhythm of life as the tall oaks sway

                                              I am the stream teaming with life

                                              And the orchard, sweet, when all is ripe

                                              Before creation was spoken to be

                                              I am that I am, and I am He
