You know he is there
When you see the sunset splashed on a canvas-like sky
When you feel the sun's blistering heat
When you can smell the sweet smell of a summer stormYou know he is there
When you feel the bite of a cold winter's morning
When you see the glimmer of a frost covered world
When you taste the snowflakes as they melt on your tongueYou know he is there
When you hear the wind whisper a thousand words
When you hear the silence of nature at peace
When you see a thousand colored autumn leavesYou know he is there
When you see the birth of new life
When you smell the fresh smell of flowers blooming
When you hear the serene sound of a spring showerI know he is here
With me
Always.

Notes: The meaning behind my poem was to reveal all the miraculous things God does. As I was writing this I thought about how many people go through life with faith or any beliefs at all. The composing process was not very difficult. Once I got started it just started to flow. I thought about incorporating all four seasons in my poem and separating them by stanzas. I also used all of the senses to create a more realistic feel to the poem. The poetic devices I used were end stop for line breaks and some imagery. |
