Painting a poem;
searching the silence
for words
worthy of what the soul feels.
Gathering the grace;
accepting the gifts,
recognized and
fanned into flame.
Praying the prayer;
seeking the Spirit's
inspiration
within this humble heart.
Giving the glory;
trusting our God,
knowing his will,
we follow the path.
Finding the words;
during the stillness of dawn
on leaves of grass,
gathered like the dewfall.
