Gods Blessings
Fields awash with yellow corn
Glowing golden for miles.
Interwoven by lush green hedgerows
And a wood of towering trees
Contrasting red poppies stretch
Their hue as far as the eye can see,
Broken stillness only by a breeze
God’s blessing of sight.
Rippled waters of the weir cascade
Down to the river flowing for miles.
Intercepted by the quacking ducks
Waddling among reeds
Chugging motor boats, and handles
Turning of the lock gates
To gushing flowing sounds
God’s blessing of hearing.
Honey suckle bush exudes its
Heady perfume for seeming miles
Interrupted only by the mock orange
And brief encounters of rosemary,
Sage, lavender and the rose.
Newly mowed lawn and the air
After a shower of summer rain
God’s blessing of smell.
Hand in hand to walk life’s
Journey for miles and miles,
Love entwined by despair, hope, grief,
Doubt, faith and suffering.
Enlightenment, exploring the
Depth of the soul to inquire
And know ones self to the full
God’s blessing of emotion.
Joyce Gale 2005
*************************************
God’s Infinity.
The waves wash the shore
As God cleanses the spirit.
Sparkling waters calm thoughts
To bring peace within
Reflection on past and present,
Deep deep the soul is still
As the motion of the waves
Continue their never ending task
To restore the balance of
God’s infinity,
And the spirit is refreshed.
Joyce Gale 2004

I Believe In Rainbows
I believe in rainbows that
Come with a shower of rain
They seep into the soul and
Take away the pain.
I believe in trees that reach
To the heavenly sky
They touch into the soul and
Soothe the reasons why.
I believe in birds that are
Free to sing their tune
They bring joy to the soul
From early morn till noon.
I believe in flowers that
Bloom in early spring
They bring hope to the soul and
Take away life’s sting.
I believe in music that
Come to our ear
It brings peace to the soul and
Takes away any fear.
I believe in the love of God
That’s with us every day
This is in our very soul and
No one can take away.
I believe in miracles
That’s there before our eyes
Take note of everyone you see
In our precious earthly lives.
Joyce Gale 2007
