How Good

In the morning,
I walk through the auburn woods
A breeze in the mild air gives life
To the leaf-topped giants around me.
As i throw a rock
Off the un-sturdy, wood bridge,
The plop into the water scares off a squirrel.

I can see the glare of the sun
Peeking through the branches.
I look down to the glistening
Of the great star on the water -
And up
To the beauty around me.
I remember how good
God is.

I wrote this as a experience poem. I was in the woods during a retreat and God just spoke to me. I love being in those settings where all you can think is "Wow. God is amazing."
