Faith Poetry is more about

how to live in this world

than it is about

how to live in an afterlife.

All we have is this moment—

The here and now.

The present gift—

The world is the poem.

Nature poetry is the spiritual expression

of who we are.

Nature sings the song

of our faith, our being—

The language of our soul.
