The Birds and Trees
Wisdom is missed
by those
who despise small things…
who declare them insignificant,
fail to recognize
their own blind spots –
and pride,
disguised
as the righteousness of God.
Beware Christian!
You think you hear God-
yet by your own decree
snuff out His voice
in the birds
and trees.
You declare yourself wise
by your own decrees,
but I hear Him full well,
in the birds and trees.
I hear Him full well,
in the birds and trees.

Beautifully said! We – perhaps I mean I/me/myself!! – close out the obvious…God speaks to us in the Birds and the Trees and the small creatures and the streams of water and the deep ocean…and we – I/me/myself – continue to listen for his voice…it is there, my friend; it IS there and I am one who continues to listen for his voice and…ramble on and on and on…and it passes me by. TODAY, I will be OPEN to HEAR HIS VOICE, in the every day beauty of HIM!!
Thank you for sharing – your beautiful, as usual – words!!
