Sitting on the Deck pamela doerr

Strong breezes tingle, warm across my skin
Single hummingbird hovers, zooms out and in
Searching for nectar, beloved and sweet
Sun come and goes, never missing a beat

Songbird sings praise, joy, an accolade
Summer lily, yellow brightness, eventually to fade
Sounds of thunder rumble, refusing to cower
Soon a raindrop comes, nourishment yet power

Showers on earth, coming down from the sky
Simple yet complex, both nature and I
Satisfied to know the One, who created it all
Soulful and Spirit, He’s waiting for our call
