Even More The soft breeze strokes my hair as I struggle to ease myself into the groove of the slippery rock, I gaze around, soaking in the awesome strength and beauty of the sea, I slip into the nook, and begin to relax, my senses are enveloped by the roar as the waves crest and crash their way to shore, my spirit is awakened by the gentle spray, my heart warmed by the screech of the gulls as they streak their way across the water, the sun lighting up their bodies as though some ethereal light is shining from within, I love them so, yes, even they belong to God, the azure sky and billowy white clouds act as a perfect backdrop for all my eyes can see, I feel a contented smile cross my face, and embrace my very soul as I reflect upon God's might, His love, His great power, All this, And all that's within is His, And yet...He loves me too, even more © Mary Silva December, 2004 Whispered Winds Home
