Spring Light-the glory of God tops a crown of light atop the trees

Spring Light

Light shines through the flowing dogwood, maple, and towering pine. 

Blooming white flowers on the 
elderberry with fragrant crabapple 
and plum tree perfumes.

Glimmering on the walking path; 
it is just about as perfect 
as a Spring day can be 
where royal purple Iris 
flitter in the stiff breeze
and the glory of God 
tops a crown of light atop the trees.

The lush wind breaks 
over the pond shimmering.

Rays slap on Spring days
so magical, the way it sparkles 
on the tree leaves.

How it bounces off 
the rolling green mount 
and slants like diamonds 
across the water, 
then walks through the window, 
landing in the prayer room.

Glowing through tall pines, 
stepping in and out of the shadows 
in this beautiful world God made.

Trees alive; 
the light now soft
and a bird is quiet, 
now.
