I feel you Whirling around me. You're ubiquitous. I see you With the eyes given me
By You alone. And I hear you. Sometimes rushing At times sweetly wafting; Barely a whisper,
But always in motion. A wave of mercy A tempest of repentance A flutter of joy. Oh Wind;
Breath of God, What are you blowing in?

You planted me. A seed that slowly germinated into a prickly mass of thorns entwined with thick foliage of life. Beauty hidden beneath the weeds of sorrow and ignorance.
You tend me. A flower slowly blooming with brilliant color and life anchored by roots,
deep and ever growing. The fragrance of wisdom wafting higher and higher and pleasing to You.
You'll reap me. A plant fully matured and perfected after weeding and pruning and much cutting back.
A glorious gift that You planted and tended and reaped for Yourself.
