camping offers idle
time alone with nature
and nature’s God. He is
everywhere present in the
quiet moments, in shade of
tall pines; seen in magpie’s
wings and shine of doe’s eyes;
felt in chipmunk’s fast heartbeat
and icy glacial stream; heard in
honk of goose and bugle of elk.
He abides on mountain heights
and in rocky crags’ hidden cave;
his power witnessed in lightning
jolt, drenching downpour or an
alpine avalanche; in strength
and beauty that beckons
us to be still and know.

Lynn dearest, Hiiiii! “Be still and know that I am God…” Psalm 46:10 this is the very thought that came to me as soon as I started reading your words, dear Lynn. And I saw how God gifted you this close up shot and said, “Here, this one is for you today.” And I know you will cherish it as such. He is Nature! And we are lucky when we slow down long enough to inhale this fact of life. Thanks for sharing this gorgeous poem. I appreciate you so much for participating to the prompt. Bless you always.
