A Quiet Awe

My life often feels frenzied 

And hectic , turning cell calls 

And checking my her to do list

And hurt my back .

One day I went out back 

And sat in an old out door chair .

I planned to sit for just a moment or two ,

But in the undistracted  stillness 

I began to notice 

Things that invited me to linger longer .

I could hear the creak of the chair ,

The buzz of  bees

By the the near tree ,

And the flap of a birds wing over head .

The sky was a brilliant blue 

And the clouds moved on by

With the South Dakota wind .

I found myself moved by tears 

In response to all that God had made .

I sat long enough to take 

In these many many wonderful things 

Within my eye sight and a ear shot .

I was humbled by the work of God's hand .

What a quiet awe .
