Quite some years ago I was at a remote beach called Wunjunga in north QLD in Australia, at this time I was feeling lonely and depressed, it was at that point I prayed and asked God why? I know, silly right? However it turned out for me that it was not so silly. As I sat in the shade of a palm, in an attempt to write a letter to my grandmother I started to stare, and I mean really stare. I couldn't take my eyes off tiny details, I focused on a small blade of grass and analysed every detail of it, I picked up one grain of sand and honed in on every colour in it, a small shell near me displayed so much detail as if created by a perfect master of art. So at this point I started to write, but I believe not my own words, I believe these are words and poetry God gave to me and from that point on everything became like a breath of fresh air, my life was uplifted and placed in a perfect world where I can revisit nature at any time and feel at peace knowing who created that space.
We cant see what the future holds -
We don't know about tomorrow -
But when life's as beautiful as today, there's no need to make room for sorrow.
No words can describe the beauty that surrounds me,
And my mind never ceases to be amazed by the sea,
The life I have lived has been far from unkind,
For I have an abundance of memories, the good with the bad, that are somehow all contained within my mind.
Everything surrounding can tell me a story, I feel so insignificant, yet so alive! To God be the glory
The Warming sun - The cooling breeze - The glistening water - The biting sand flees
The silver grass - The speckled shells - The distant hills - The unusual smells
There's no end to the things that I can see,
And every grain of sand seems just as significant as me!
To God be the glory!
We cant see what the future holds -
We don't know about tomorrow,
But this is a place where I have escaped this world of sorrow.
For every breath of life I see - gives a sense of hope -
For everyday we live and breathe - the surrounding beauty helps us cope
Every moment of life we should gratefully accept,
For time passes quickly and life is too short for hateful regret,
Today I try to write about all the beauty that surrounds me,
But all I can say is – To God be the glory.
