Calm Before the Storm

We have had some beautiful, warm weather for this time of year, up into the low 70’s this week. I managed to find some time to ride my bike on our river’s greenway system and take a few pictures. It make you really, really wish April and May were already here. May you have a blessed day and praise God for his goodness in allowing our world to be such a wondrous place!

Calm Before The Storm

You seem so calm and
Mostly quiet
Only sounds of water over
Rocks
Make me at water’s edge
Delight to listen, stop

No fresh young sprigs of
Green
None on delicate limbs
Yet to be seen
Today’s sun seems but
A ruse
No matter how strong
Its rays
No matter how profuse

No strong spring’s chatters
No multiple birds’ voices
Yet to be gathered
But
For today, the sun does smile
On this happy watered mile
Crystals shards of light
Fill a gently rolling river

But do not fear
Soon I’ll see a world
Once more filled
With all the noise and
Joyous colors
As spring’s breezes
Again allow my senses
To be completely thrilled!!
