Early Morning Walk

(While out with our Australian Shepherd earlier today, this poem came to thought)








                                                            Cathedral of the Trees






                                                             I've had my share


                                                             Of inspired, holy moments


                                                             Worshiping in a church


                                                              Made of wood and stone.






                                                               But I do believe,


                                                               On a bench on the edge


                                                               Of a still and lovely forest


                                                               I am quite near the divine,


                                                               I sit here uplifted, all alone --


                                                               Except for our dog,


                                                               (And for the One


                                                               Who made all this,


                                                                      Of course.)






                                           "The earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof;
                                                      the world, and they that
                                                            dwell therein."


                                                              Psalms 24:l
