In Awe of His Creation
The old rugged tree overshadows me as I lie below it. Its wrinkled and shedding long branches extend down towards the ground, kissing it, and then, ascends to the heavens to indulge its light. My eyes are closed, listening to the wind. It blows softly over my body, caressing my face, my hands, my feet. The fields, painted with hues of reds and yellows, the pastures, bathed in the golden rays of the sun, while the pinks peek through the dancing violet clouds, whisper into my ears the sounds of the ocean, as if its waves were gently tossed back and forth by the moon at night. The wind speaks to me as a mother would speak to her infant, gentle, kind, calm, loving, as if I were that innocent creature, Embracing me tightly, not letting go, afraid to lose me. It reassures me that I will never be left alone, never be forgotten. I opened my eyes. The fields became a sea of moving meadows. The air carried a fragrance of dampened wood and hay. The clouds met with the ground in the distance, inseparable. As I look up through the almost leafless tree, I can see the stars peeking from their hiding places. One after the other, they abandoned the realm of the invisible. Some remained, others fell. I blinked, the light of the day was quenched. The bright pinks, the glittering gold, all faded into the black night. The moon, the stars, the planets, all stole the throne of the absent sun. The wind whispered no more, it became silent, placid. the howling of the wolves echoed through the mountains, the trees, the rivers. The roosters crowed loudly, reminding the moon and stars that the sun will return, reminding me that the Creator speaks even at night. I closed my eyes.
