I wrote this poem while attending the Keene United Church worship service held at Larryland in July. I didn’t take a picture of the creek/river at Larryland. I promise you it looks somewhat like this picture and is just as lovely. I’m not a poet, but my time at Larryland opened me to God’s inspiration. When I copied my poem into the blog program, the lines came out double spaced and I don’t know how to change it. Maybe this crazy format will enable you to read slowly, stopping to picture the scene. Enjoy!
The Invitation
Excitement
rushes by,
Ripples sparkle, dance
Carrying the invitation
Play with me.
Come!
Tree’s, tall grasses,
Even the rocks,
Are calling me.
God’s peace is here.
Enjoy
Breathe deeply
Receive God’s healing
For just this hour
Soak in beauty.
Know!
We’re one with God.
Stop, rest, smile,
Open your eyes
To truly see.
Give thanks!
For precious moments,
To hear, to touch,
To taste this place
To worship God.
