After the Rain

After the rain

The mushrooms grow

The Sun returns

And the breeze gently blows.

While up above the clouds so high

The sound of airplanes fills the sky.

After the rain

There’s a calm in my soul

The peace returns

As the winds of change blows.

While off in the distance I hear joy resound

Children playing, a pleasant sound.

Mushrooms:  “Many species of mushrooms seemingly appear overnight, growing or expanding rapidly. This phenomenon is the source of several common expressions in the English language including “to mushroom” or “mushrooming” (expanding rapidly in size or scope) and “to pop up like a mushroom” (to appear unexpectedly and quickly). In reality all species of mushrooms take several days to form primordial mushroom fruit bodies, though they do expand rapidly by the absorption of fluids.” (Sourced from Wikipedia)

An Autumn Walk

The quiet rustling of Autumn’s breeze

A neighbor out raking leaves

Her sweet little boy says hello and waves

The Sun is high and so are my hopes

The stillness of Winter isn’t far off now

I’m peaceful, too peaceful for many words

I don’t know what to pray

But thank you Lord.

“He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life.” –Revelation 21:6

“Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and His servants will serve Him. They will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads. –Revelation 22:1-4
