Unmistakable Felicity

Sitting on a swing in the back yard 

Admiring the bright colors 

That are presumptuously looming

Turning the once graceless scenery 

Into a wonderland of elegance

Serenity and whimsical daydreams

 Taking the time to sit still and admire creation

Realizing that I have undeniably ignored the desire to be out 

In the world taking in the beauty of His Majesty 

His artistic abilities

Often busy with everyday life

Forgetful; putting off taking time to stand in awe of the Wonders of the Cross

 But when I do take the time

To get lost in the majesty surrounding me

 I am too speechless to speak

Yet enamored by the One

Who took the time to make every detail so superb

That it demands my attention

As I sit swinging rather clumsily

 I cannot help but close my eyes

And let the sunshine creep up on my face

Like Ivy does to a cute cottage in the country side

 Fluttering lazily about

The wind sends a calming shiver down my spine-almost

Almost as if it were a comforting hug

A greeting from the One Most High 

I feel translucent in the presence of the Son

 It's as if He were the sun's rays lighting up my face

Making it glow cherry red

The wind on my skin reminding me

Of the sensational ability to feel, imagine and hope

Maybe it's just me

But as I continue to swing

Hoping not to topple backwards

Life beckons me to take in

The pleasurable beauties of what our God and King can do

And did in seven days

While humbled at the spectacle before my eyes

The calm serenity of a lackadaisical afternoon

I am left molded to my swing

As the joys of the wonderfully whimsical afternoon

Leaves constituted within me a chipper disposition that

If not carefully watched

May playfully bubble over with unmistakable felicity
