August is coming to a close. The fair is in town. As usual I have no intentions of attending. year after year the same food the same games the same vendors......The faces of the people grow older A faceless mass to pass you by. When all is done the noise is gone only the smell lingers a while longer.The fair is but a point in time to mark the transition start from summer to fall.
Today I am going to try something a little different starting with the 2 pictures
I Spoke With God Today
Empty and quiet the lake is for now
I alone keep it company for a while
In silent meditation with eyes closed
I pose a statement...
God, show me your face
Open eyes show me all...
Eyes of a depth and a color of blue
stretching to eternity
Hair trimmed in white and grey
dancing in its freedom
A textured skin tanned and wrinkled with
age ripples across the lake
Another statement I did pose....
Let me hear your voice
Strong was the breeze that blew past
my face, too much to fast, I say
I can not understand
It rushes like the ocean's voice
from the conch shell upon a beach
A crow above the trees gives
a single unanswered call
Show me your strength, show me
your heart I say this time
While buttercups dance at\
my feet
each stone laying at
waters edge is washed in
repetition un-ending
Now no longer alone
One last statement thought but
unspoken....
Show me your love...
A family of three is walking past.
To keep the moment I do not turn
These words I hear from behind,
"Good afternoon brother", as they
pass me by
Enjoy your fishing is my reply
"We do" was their last retort...

This is wonderful. With God's love comes inner peace and contentment..
