Journey With The Lord

I have always loved to walk. I don’t know why; but it has been that way since I was very young. The silence and the rhythm of my movement seems to keep me calm and clear my head. In this new healthy l

A  Journey With The Lord

By Chris T.


Fresh sprinkle of morning rain

Early I rise to explore

Smell of water,vapor in the air

The feel of God’s blessing on my skin


My feet beat the path

All in rhythm, all in time

Passing houses, trees and plants

I let my Lord choose my course


A still, soothing silence grips my town

As it still sleeps and it still slumbers

Carrying my body just one more block

Gentle winds sway the maple’s branch to and fro


My mind is clear, my heart is content

Walking my route, talking with my God

And I am not one to miss the gift

Of creations splendor and the one who made it


Puffs of breath escape my lungs

each one having completed it’s job

To gather in the portion I need

Relying on faith in someone greater than myself


I round the corner towards my favorite park

So many children’s cries  still echo from yesterday’s play

I am thankful for God’s continuation of life

And the changes each parent faces


Hydrangea, tulip and pine scents the air

Wondering if my prayers have the same fragrance in heaven

Smile gets wider knowing they are heard and received

Legs still churn, and progress is still made


Home stretch is now seen and now cars start to amass

Are there other people sharing their morning with the  Lord

If only they could have traveled this small journey with me

They would have seen beauty, creation and hope

And known the peace that comes from a journey with the Lord

This put a smile on my face reading it, the words have a nice clean feeling to them and the structure is very crisp (a wonderful combination really). I felt (as the reader) like I was following you collecting each quatrain as it fell behind you traveling onward, every line expressively explaining your movements in consideration of God's early morning handiwork. Very lovely sir, indeed.

I just wrote a poem similiar to this. God is amazing and it seems to me like he is everywhere and the nature that surrounds us every day, beautifully written. Nicely done, Chris.

Reading this I was just uplifted. This is exceptionally beautiful and can put a smile to peoples faces. The descriptions are lovely. They give the reader a taste of what you see, feel, and hear and then they want more, but the factor (the most crucial) is how the Lord our God has give all this wonder to us and we can experience such beauty each day. Extraordinary work, sir.
