I am in Awe

Mariah Maynard

I am in awe

Of the way wind
Breezes
Swirls
Touches
The trees and shapes their leaves
And causes the flowers to dance
To its wonderful rhythm and flow

Of the way snow
Falls
Drops
Descends
Down from heaven in tiny crystals
That weave together and
Cover you and I
In a blanket of cold beauty

Of the way birds
Fly
Hum
Sing
Their songs of wonder with notes that
String together peace
And wonder
And makes me remember all that is good

Of the way people
Speak
Go
Laugh
Together as they create memories and
Spread kindness through
Sharing their words and moments of happiness

I am surrounded

By the light of it all
By the beauty of it all
By the life that it all creates
And I am in awe
