Beauty we often don’t notice – v2

We are in a rush going outside,
often on our way to work, to the grind,
we don’t stop to know, to notice, to experience,
beauty all around us, wildflowers, colors,
birdsong, the clouds, the skies,
mercy of the Creator, these gifts,
grace, written on the world…
 
Beauty we often don’t notice,
in our rush, trapped within ourselves,
not seeing the wonder all around us,
gifts of the Creator, of creation,
of nature itself, an assurance, a vision,
in our yards, in these moments,
God writes on the world…
