Just Another Poem

So, I know I've been gone for awhile and I apologize. My computer crashed while my flashdrive was plugged in so everything I had been working on was deleted.
Meaning, all the edits for my book.
So, now, I'm having to redo almost two months of editing around my busy school/work schedule. Not fun. But, I came up with this poem a few minutes ago, and thought I'd share it with you all for your enjoyment.

So, without further to do, here's my poem.

Things I Love

I love early morning summer,
when the birds are singing loud
and the sky is painted orange low,
casting gilded light across the ground.

I love when water ripples,
sending those shards of light,
like broken glass across the floor,
flitting for my delight.

I love drinking in the blaze of fire,
in the dark of night,
their crackling and dancing slow
right before my eyes.

I love when sunlight streams
through windows all around,

placing the purest of ribbons

all across the ground.

I love being so alone,

bare feet dipped in rivers flowing

woods and animals all around

and a book to tell me where I’m going.

I love fast driving through the country

so all the colors of the trees,

blur to form one bright color

of flowers and grass and leaves.

I love the smell of the great outdoors

just after heavy rain

when everything is pure and clean,

like God decided to start again.

I love the scent of the sweetest pea

and lavender in my shower,

but the scent I love the most of all

is none but the butterfly flower.

I love high places to stand upon

And look upon God’s glory

the feeling of climbing oh, so high

and seeing our smallness in His Story.

I love the minds of others

when I’m able to see in

and battle with the best of minds

to better mine with strengthening.

I love the smell of adventure

as it rumbles through my veins

and fills me with excitement

I know I’ll never know again.

I love new discoveries

and things that make me think

and finding a pattern in chaos

that can change before you blink.

I love asking questions

as annoying as that may be

but questions get you answers

and answers can set you free.

I love brilliant quote.

There’s just something about those words

that make you realize there’s more to life

yet, you can still be understood.

But, more than anything I love,

Is a Love that sets you free

When God sent His Son to die

All for the sake of His own glory.
