Seven months. It had been almost seven months since I’d last sat alone in the woods, just to listen. If you know me, you know that’s about 6 months and 3 weeks longer than normal. But there I was, finally sitting amidst the trees, just listening and breathing in God’s creation and His Nature displayed through it. Then a phrase came to mind, and it just kept repeating itself. So I wrote it down, and this entire poem just flowed out:

 

I Hear Your Whisper in the Wind

 

I hear You

I hear Your whisper in the wind

I hear Your song in the birds

I hear Your power in the shudders of thunder

I hear You

 

I see You

I see Your fingerprints in all creation

I see Your laughter in the smiles of others

I see Your tears in the form of rain

I see You

 

I feel You

I feel Your warmth in the sun upon my skin

I feel Your anger when facing injustice

I feel Your voice pounding out of my heart

I feel You

 

I know You

I know Your peace in the midst of struggle

I know Your joy to the depths of my soul

I know Your Love when I’m enfolded into Your arms

I know You

 

But I want to hear You more

I want to see You more

I want to feel You more

I want to know You more

 

So I surrender

Because I hear Your whisper in the wind

This is God-breathed straight into my soul for rejuvenation, so I just had to share it.

 

Until next time,
