I Love the Way...

I love the way You breathe upon

The skyline in the dark

And gently soften heaven’s gown

To fade out heaven’s spark

You veil with mist the mountain crest

The valley, field and sea

The moon, a wafer in the west

Slips to obscurity

I love the way the sunlight pools

In yellow on the slope

As Time unravels from its spools

Translucent threads of hope

And we commence, with lightened step

Upon the road un-taken

With humble whisper on our lips

For seeds of faith unshaken

I love the way the dew and rain

Pearls on the musky flower

The scent of morning on the lane

After a midnight shower

I love the mercy You portray 

To mankind’s fumbling story

As you unveil another day

In all its pristine glory
