a gift in the forest

a gift of quiet
there in the forest
of August beauty
there on the trail
below the school

flowers and forest
the ponds before us
a gift of nature
there in the forests
God walking with us

telling us to stop
there in the forest
to watch more closely
for the whisper of the bees
and the call of the trees.
