Today Poem by Rev. Rebecca Guile Hudson

today is a day
filled with beauty
and grace

the wind’s in the trees,
it caresses my face

the sky is as clear
as a crystal blue ocean
the exquisite air
stirs my soul, my emotions

I hear God
in the singing
of nest-building birds

on a day like today,
ain’t nuthin’ disturbs
the peace in my heart,
the joy in mind

they shine
through the dark,
make me feel
less apart
from my family,
mankind,
and from all things
divine
