Last Night ...

 

John William Waterhouse



 Last night I sat on our deck, 
overlooking a pink and red sky, 
with crows and hummingbirds soaring in the trees, 
palms swaying in a gentle wind. 
This week was one of utter chaos in the outer world. 
Not only on a global scale, 
but on a personal one as well. 
And yet, 
my soul is like Miranda on the shores of the tempest. 
And last night as I breathed in the beauty, 
with the moon rising with a misty halo around it, 
I felt the immense silent beauty of God. 
The gifts of the Divine all around, 
in both the vastness and the tiniest details.
