Morning Scent

Morning scent

fragrantly perfect

body next to mine

that of Springtime

outside my window after a night of rain

birds fluttering about

in the background

sweetly waking me

from even the heaviest of slumber

could but one, such as I, even fathom

such wondrous love as this

without a word spoken

lyrics carried--breath after breath

such a natural state of being

closed lids

all that gaze back at me

nothing taken

nothing given

still

soul overflowing

God's own before me

without expectation

or limitation

smile permeates my face

eyes now open

curtains dancing

was it all but a dream

Or

did I just wake from reality…

side note:  3 years and 8 months today and not a drop to drink, thanks be to God

God's Greatest Gift

One of God's greatest gifts--

FRIENDSHIP.

Plain and simple, pure and true.


All types of friendships;

Colleagues, associates, neighbors and peeps...

Acquaintances, confidants, reflective and sweet...


New friendships and age old friendships--

Sometimes overlooked, taken for granted...


Plain and simple, pure and true.

FRIENDSHIP--

One of God's greatest gifts.


Thanks and Praise...

My personal "left with" is simply put:

Peace and love are pure or purity.
I prayed for restoration--wanting to live according to the word;
obedience is a "delight in!"
