"Alive is Better"
I was feeling a little Wild this Morning
So I Slipped Barefoot onto my garden porch
and breathed in the humid air and felt being alive
alive is good, alive is good, dream world is bad
don't wanna get caught up in a dream world
you could feel the wooden slats under your feet
and the breeze tickling my face and hair
the green things are growing wild and lush
when i feel lost, at wit's end, i go to my garden porch
and hold out my palms and take in the raw energy
of the power and beauty of the growing things in Summer
and the energy they restore to my soul is like sunlight
to a plant that's been too long hidden from the sun
the plants on my porch are my brothers and sisters
i feel God There, i feel my purpose there, with the plants
i feel like i am one of them, a part, of nature, welcomed in.
In Jesus' Name,
Amen
