whole

 Morning glories

Of sweet smelling 

Jasmine and honeysuckle 

Waft through

My nostrils

Making my day

Even more amazing

Because I let 

Nature’s beauty

And goodness

Be my guide

To a happier

Healthy

Whole

Daily

 Teach me

Not to fret

And to take

Each day

As it arrives

Smile

Laugh

Enjoy the ride

Soul

Rainy days

Where thunder rolls

Lightning strikes

And the bed sheets

Call my name

With a ferocity

Promising 

Sweet dreams

As nature provides

Manna for

A tired soul

Summer sizzle

 Summer sizzle

Brings rainy drizzle

A sudden cooldown

Followed by 

A mugginess

Nobody loves

Azure waves

 Salty shores

Shifting sand

Azure waves

Wind blowing

Birds a pecking

And an overcast sky

Greet my eye

This morning

You control 

Your creation 

With a steadfast 

Firmness

That gives

This humble human

Peace and clarity

Thank you

For never deviating

From Your character

Even as mine

Wavers more

Than I’m willing

To admit

Questions

 What are you reading?

What’s in your cart?

What are you drinking?

What are you eating?

What is making you smile?

Rereading old favorites

Books

Coffee

Cereal

You all

Your turn

seeking soul

 Lord

Guide me

Give me

Direction

And peace

To deal

With life

As it is

Not pretend

It’s something

Else entirely

Give me hope

And a future

And never let

Me forget

Your goodness

As I seek 

Your reply

May the joy

You provide

Be enough

Always enough

For this impatient

And seeking soul
