In Awe

In Awe/Frank A. Clark, MD

POETRY FOR INCLUSION

Where there is stillness, green spaces abound,

guiding with light, swaying with might for human delight.

Where there are ripples, dragonflies draw near,

daydreaming on clouds, reflecting on self

through blue-white mirrors.

Where there is longing, the Spirit comforts,

renewing the heart, preparing the mind

for a date with God.

Where there is water, souls await to cleanse,

bathing in trueness, drinking life’s richness on heaven’s landscape.
