God gave us memories so that we might have roses in December...j.m. barrie

a month ago

I wrote my last post

I was leaving church after morning prayer

it was dark before the dawn

and I stood

looking up 

and I saw again 

beauty

a tree dead and naked in winter yet glistening shining as if in full sun

and I realized I am seeing

once again I see beauty

and then yesterday

I see this tree blooming pink in December

and this morning I stood and sang

"love
  and truth 
  in Him shall flower
  from His strength their vigor take
  branches that are bare 
  shall blossom
  joy
  that slept 
  begins to wake"

I don't know about tomorrow
I barely know of today
but there is beauty
there is truth
there is love
and there is joy...
and perhaps maybe someday
