Written from the recollection of chasing a Colorado rainbow after an afternoon rainstorm with my Papa and Grandma Lowe. Precious — for such sweet memories are few.
When I see a butterfly flutter
When I hear the buzzing of honey bees
When the wind moves through trees
Wafting the fragrance of sweet roses my way
***
I smile and stare up at the sky
Watching the clouds fly
I think of you under the sun shining bright
Filling me with unparalleled delight
***
Witnessing your majesty
Oh, what beauty!
Taking in all the sights
Taking my breath away
Making me want to stay
Here — inside a part of God’s mind
***
The leaves crunching underneath our feet
So quiet — we can hear our hearts beat
As we smile and take our seat
At a bench by the river, our favorite spot
We go to sit and talk
***
I forget this world — for once
After an afternoon rainstorm
Because I see God
In the summer steam coming off the sidewalk
I see God in the rainbow
In the Rocky Mountains of Colorado
You Lil Dickens
