Echoes of Eden
– Renee Adele Phillips
Out on the porch this summer morning
in the pale first flush of dawn,
my spirit stirs and wakens to You.
How can it be, that before this morning,
I missed seeing You everywhere?
You are in the mountains, outlined
in inky blue against the lightening sky:
their permanence a testament
to Your faithfulness.
You are in the waking birds
and whispering leaves on the trees above me:
they are the music that is You.
I want to raise my hands to heaven,
close my eyes,
and breathe You in.
Oh, Father, let others see
a tiny bit of this in me:
a small echo of Eden,
and let them be drawn to You
as I am to the beauty I see this morning.
Let me be a part of this display of Your splendor
in all the seasons of my life
and the way I live them:
Let me be rooted so deeply in You
that as I grow, I display You
in all the summer mornings of my life
and every day in between
until that final winter evening
when You welcome me home.
