Sweet Sun-kissed Heather

Sweet Sun-kissed Heather
by Sally Green

Amid sunrise skies
Painted pale and pink.
It’s time for a change;
it’s time to rethink…

Reflecting and pondering,
falling apart at the seams,
Where am I going?
What are my dreams?

Can I take a small step
in the direction I choose?
Sitting under a sky now
that’s lavender blue

Am I ready to change?
Am I on the right path?
Ask God for a sign
to engage in each task.

Amid sunset skies
of sweet sun-kissed heather,
There’s a penny from heaven,
And a little white feather.

Winter Beauty

 

Winter Beauty

Beauty unfolds before me until I am uplifted by the sight of snowflakes falling from heaven, turning the landscape into a glimmering, radiant winter scene.   My entire world was dirty and dingy and now it is covered in a cloak of magic.

Beauty screams from my tongue as I gaze in awe at the snow enveloping my soul in a blanket of white.  Every deed done or spoken in haste or without thought is no longer visible because they are covered over with the hand of God’s grace.

Beauty shines through my outer existence and touches the inside depths of my essence.  I am changed, I am different and I am free and finally feel peace within.  Joy begins to overtake my spirit and I smile at the thought in my head…

Beauty within becomes beauty without.
