Wonder-some

One wide-open highway, one wide-window afternoon and one wide-eyed woman on a bike= happy, happy, happy;-)

We traverse far and wide to see

The artwork in God’s gallery

Of turquoise sea, white sands, green field

Kaleidoscope of autumn-yield

Still, after marveling at blue

Caught on a crown of crimson hue

After russet gusset, gold grain

Pink gossamer of mist-kissed main

…after summer slumbers, her form

Enshrouded in a color-storm

Of vista sweeps and purple deeps

And cradles where her leaf-song sleeps

…after each stunning season-show

The hike-bike-driving-walking 'wow!'

We turn, where evening shadows fall

To home, life’s ‘loveliest of all’

…and here kindly the kettle hums

No matter what ‘next season’ comes

Here we frame pictures hung on thought

Seasons spill soul forget-me-not

…and here, in spite where we’ve been

The heart is tugged by hands unseen

And thus toward its arms we come

That corner we call home-sweet-home

Often, as I turn into our driveway whether walking, biking or driving

 I am sudden-struck by Grateful Wonder-some,

 That God saw fit to bless a bit,

 My life with loveliness of Home

...even the horse knows when he is homeward bound!
