…by the ONE so named

 



....by the ONE so named

A stillness, a calm, the air chilled and awakening it be
Trees, branches, and bough, gifts from the grace of thee
This celestial gift before me in benediction I to receive
The wondrous by the Creator in glory to conceive
A silence in this motionless moment of BEING divine
Such be the savor of the morning light, this the gift of time
This season of winter to embrace my blessed abode
Each day, each moment, there be a story to be told
Sweet be the song of wind upon the melodious chime
The gifts of barren trees, light, shadow and wintertime
The All becomes known in each breath proclaimed
The GLORY, the GRACE, the LIGHT, 
by the ONE so named.
