This morning was rinsed
by welcomed rain,
and now I'm dazzled
by a sun-filled afternoon.
Remnant raindrops
still cling
to the delicate leaves
of sweet clover.
The arching canes
of wild rose
form a necklace
of luminous pearls.
I accept what is given.
Feel washed from within.
Breathe in the essence
of the moist, living earth.
I sense the presence
of the Holy Spirit,
like a garden growing
within my soul.
