Many Different Faces: Nature’s Revelation

The condition of life wears many different faces - sometimes in shades of gray,
Of joy, hope, sadness, bewilderment – emotions buoyed by unwavering faith.
Christ, the very cornerstone, is an unseen certain shepherd and guide.
Sets the pace through valley depths, vast fields, and mountain heights.

A fluctuating kaleidoscope of colors in the precarious passage of life’s call.
Witness the crisp azure sky, rich crimson cardinal, snow like a puffy cotton ball,
the dun gray of a heavy morning mist, and the jubilant yellow of the eternal sun.
Dawn’s renewed promise, a constancy heard each day with the lark’s plaintive song.

Delicate violets, short in stature, birthed in spring’s fertile expectant soil.
Cradled and nurtured by warm dazzling light, it blossoms in purple royal.
Humility, a grace of true self-reflection, doused in a baptism of celestial dew
Among sharp green blades of grass, its visage scintillates, known only by few.
