Post subject:  2 Christian Poems
Both of these came from quiet times during a retreat this weekend.

"I Hear, I See, I Praise"

I hear you in the leaves that
rustle in the everpresent wind.
I feel you in the sun
beating down to drive the chill away.
I see you in the water
a reflection of the earth you created.

You, oh God, are wonderful and mighty
You watch over us, you are with us
All your creation sings of your glory
with words of wind, water, and light.

I hear you in the silence,
silence people only make when they sense you.
I feel you in the air that brings
the smell of rain and spring.
I see you in the heads of four people
bowed down in prayer.

Oh Lord, how majestic is your name!
How great are your works!
How wonderful is the day you give,
and the peace that comes with it,
as we see your majesty
in the quiet and ourselves.


"Not Alone"
Alone.
Yet, not alone.

Squawks and honks of geese break my thoughts
A songbird twitters somewhere around my head
A man is sitting fifty yards away
Like me, he is alone.
Yet not alone.

Alone with the silence only nature brings
Alone with his thoughts, his prayers
Alone, but comforted by the presence of someone-
God.

He answers the unspoken words in the silence
He is the warmth in the chill of a winter morning
He is a comforting glow somewhere inside of me

Because of Him I sit quietly.
Alone.
Yet not alone.

Verry lovely. I think I like the second one better, though they are both quite good. :)

Nice read. *thumbs up*

Beautiful, Nurr. The first feels as though you could turn it into a song. Very lovely work. :)
