You Are In God's Photo Book

My goddaughter posted this on Facebook today. The narrator really brings God's love alive. Relax, close your eyes, and allow God's word to flow over you.

trees bent sideways
by the horizontal rain
bluebells
the rain holds off
wind howls along the street
rips away blossom
blackbird's
discarded embryo  -
murdering magpie
purple-tipped spirea
eclipsed by raspberry canes
raindrop melodies
a morning
of pink puddles
along cherry-tree road
open tulip
a chalice for the rain
fallen petals
tiny flowers
on the rosemary
ladybirds
Rain patters
onto freshly laundered streets
cherry petals
threatening rain low clouds over the valley trees look taller
drumheaded tulips
among the shrubbery
next door's black cat
the heads of tulips
glisten with morning rain
wild arum
yellow hyssop
reflects the sunshine
silver windchimes
rain clatters
on corrugated roofs
blackbirds sing
new puddles
on the garden path
lazy dogs
spring
depressed

shoots upward again

night rain
dashing against the window
the dog stays in


April twilight
slipping into dark
florescence
night frost blackens the pear blossom bonfire smoke
in the east wind
falling petals - flakes
of white ice
