PALM BRANCHES

Palm Branches

Oh Lord,

I love the way the

palm trees

dance

in the wind.

How their trunks

shake and tremble

up and down.

Thank you Lord

for the 

waving branches.

For each drop

of rain

created by you

and dropped

down perfectly

on the place

you designated

from the beginning

of time.

You

oh Lord

are in control

of every particle

of life

from waving palm

branches 

to 

droplets of

rain

being poured

out

upon the earth.

This makes

me

bow

in

awe

of You

and Your

Greatness

Your glory comes

forth in the

Zephyr of Storm

each

tree dancing

its different 

dance

created

the way you

called it

forth

for it

to be

made

Dancing

the way 

you designed

it to 

Dance

This

Ballet of Trees

attracts 

my eyes

to your

Glory

A Glory

so astounding

 my mind cannot fathom

and then

its 

quiet

The ballet over

The costumes

come off 

and

lie 

upon the ground

The trees stripped

as if you had bathed

them each one 

with cloth

in Hand

God's way of cleansing

 nature is true

 beautiful

 glorious

The clouds part

 sun glissens

on the now

still branches

that once

paved the way

for Your death

of love

for the world
