-The Simplistic Composure of God's Grace-

As the spring rains
pour outside my window
and
the trees stand tall
in their bare composure,
my thoughts grasp
the simplicity
of God's grace in our lives...

Though life may seem to
crumble in bits and pieces
when anxiety or depression
loom in starkness
at our mind's door...

God stands close:
Waiting to reveal His wisdom
and understanding to us
through the moments
which we may deem insignificant...

It is in the simple beauty
of God's Spirit,
moving in His creation
and within His servants,
that our spirits are refreshed
and comforted
in abundance and joy.
