River You Created

*Written September 21, 2011*

 

Creator,

you created

this vast and

beautiful river...

 

how,

or when,

or why,

I do not

know...

 

but I

believe

You created

this river...

 

You created

this vast

river,

that I

sit beside

and feel

so small

beside...

 

You created

this beautiful

river,

that I marvel

at,

and cannot

express or do

justice to

its beauty...

 

Creator,

by this

river

You created,

I can feel

hear,

smell you...

 

I can feel

You in

the wind,

blowing from and over

the river...

 

I can

hear You

in the splash,

splashing of

the river

over the steps...

 

I can smell

you in

the smell

of the river,

a beautiful

smell of salt

mixed with

water...

 

Creator,

we cannot

see You,

but we

can see,

hear, smell,

and feel

You in

all the

things ,

and people,

that You

Created...

 

I often forget,

but

sitting on

the steps

beside the

beautiful and

vast river You created...

reminded me once

more.
