Winter’s fading breath

Discovering light

One final snowflake

Springtime taking flight

 

Winter pushed aside

Taking rest once more

Moved from nature’s shelf

Change coming ashore

 

Time bursting forward

Sharpening each thought

Landscape’s fresh colors

Lessons being taught

 

Young and old smiling

Finding spring abloom

Nature turns its page

Song fills every room

 

Daylight grows longer

Feeling warmth each day

April showers come

May flowers will stay

 

Life’s faithful rhythm

Rising overnight

Harmony fills hearts

Love found at first sight

Faith makes the discords of the present the harmonies of the future.

From Jeremiah 29:11:  “For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope.”

Robert Collyer (1823-1912) was an English-born pastor.  Early in his adult life, he emigrated to the United States and would later resuming preaching after having done so in England.

Morning’s quiet retreat

Offering sunrise view

Taking splendor’s front seat

Sky sketched with clearest blue

 

Sanctuary of peace

Spirit’s closeness abounds

Renewal of life’s lease

Stillness felt all around

 

Harmony’s joyful tune

Brightening this new day

Filling every full moon

Mountain’s peak never gray

 

River’s gathering dreams

Shaped within ancient hands

Journey’s endless bloodstream

Tranquility’s heartland

 

Tomorrow always waits

Offering one more chance

Tasting now, nature’s fate

Spirit’s refreshing dance

Landscape witnessed, far and wide

Designed with painter’s vision

Praising daily, valley’s peace

Backdrop of divine precision

 

River slices through meadows

Lined with colonies of trees

Shining, crystal-blue waters

Beauty’s reflections, always free

 

Time never standing alone

Counted with infinite years

Honoring each precious gift

Postcard image, others find dear

 

Autumn paints its backstory

Borrowed from nature’s rainbow

Rising above, mountain peaks

Creator’s spirit freely flows

 

Seasons exchanging places

Poised to share wondrous treasures

Composing hope’s harmony

Melody of timeless pleasures

Morning’s heavenly view

Wisp of clouds fade away

Sun-drenched blue skies return

Wind’s breathe begins to play

 

Treetops sway high above

Sunlight dances below

Mighty forest whispers

Nature offers free show

 

Divine calmness now felt

Peace arrives, plays her cards

Another perfect hand

Harmony won’t discard

 

Morning’s song welcomes all

Unique with every line

Spirit adds final touch

Melody always shines

Morning’s “Big Sky” roams over the valley near Livingston, Montana.

Harmony drops in

Lifting spirits high

Waking from slumber

Morning’s bluest sky

 

Valley’s faithful river

Unending with peace

Flowing with wisdom

Comforts never cease

 

Sun brightens flashbacks

Counting former days

Energizing with joy

Ready now to play

 

Time injects stillness

Billowing with clouds

Yielding blessed shade

Whispers never loud

 

Heaven’s love singing

Blessing life below

Extending day’s light

Nature now aglow

 

Montana’s Madison River tirelessly flows toward the community of Ennis.

Early morning moon

Leaving at sunrise

Life awakens above

Welcoming brightest blue skies

 

Heavens’ newest page

Sharing rested smile

Vision captures each scene

Unlocking Creator’s file

 

Light follows skyward

Landing at treetop

Canopy’s leafy look

Holding up every dewdrop

 

Clouds shift overhead

Fluffing each pillow

Onboard timeless sunset

Rising with every billow

 

Gentle breeze humming

Composing fresh tunes

Harmony’s precision

Sailing toward fullest moon

The German hymn, “We Plow the Field and Scatter,” was written by Matthias Claudius in 1782.  The lyrics were set to music in 1800 by Johann A. P. Schulz. The hymn was translated into English in 1861 by Montgomery Campbell.  

As you listen to this song, focus on the lyrics as they appear on the screen.  They add a meaningful visual image to this series of poems.  The hymn’s piano melody is played by Mary Munson.
