Wafts of wintry splendor
roll across my shoes.
Tickling the tip of my nose
anything to amuse.
I giggle at the exchange
between the natural world and me.
Nothing can ever cheer me up
like the earth and all the wonder I see.

Alabaster
in purest form.
Frozen diamonds
like tears from heaven.
Shimmery flecks
woven by the breath of winter.
Delicate intricacies
formed with care.
Fashioned for wonder
by the hand of God.
A split second miracle
marveled by all.

Only you can cause such beauty
Through the things you create
And sometimes I forget to look for you
My human side likes to hesitate
How can I deny your existence though
When the day looks like today
It’s easy to see your glory
When you greet me in this way
I don’t need a book or a preacher
To prove these things to me
I find you in the small things
You’re in everything I see
All I have to do is look
And your presence is made known
The miracle of you
Is always so clearly shown
