Sitting by the Window Sill
God,
Seldom words describe your love
No description to adequately capture your magnitude
Maybe the sun comes close
Sitting by the window sill in admiration
At the consistency of dawn
And the consistency of dusk
As the peppermint tea bag seeps
In the white china with the blue floral trim
With the matching saucer
I have too much water in my tea cup
And it runs over
My gaze locks
And I am left speechless
By the majestic monarch butterfly
Gold and black
Black and gold
Landing so delicately on the red rose bud
Both intricately detailed
Each stage of the metamorphosis
With a prescribed purpose
Who else but the miraculous savior
The omnipotent master creator
Then the pain of my carpal tunnel aches
the left wrist throbs
There is pulsation with abnormal rapidity
And I remember He too is a healer
The pain lingers but it’s faint
While His track record is not
Meanwhile, the red cardinal begins foraging for food
And just like that, the cardinal finds it
You will always find it
“It,” whatever it be, is always supplied
Prince of peace
Lord of Lords
Comforter through times of fear
Protector while under siege
Burden bearer when the trials became too heavy
Energizer when the spirit is low
Hope giver when all hope is gone
Vindicator when they don’t mean us well
Battle fighter when Goliath gets too big
Source of strength in times of weariness
The help in times of trouble
The forgiver of all sin and
The orchestrator of all good things
The commitment to your promises
The love you have for us
Grace and mercy giver
Blessings supplier
Like air
The everything, the everywhere
The meeter of all needs
Moments of splendor
And moments of simplicity
Like sitting by the window sill
Drinking peppermint tea
In the white china with the blue floral trim
With the matching saucer
Unconditional
L-O-V-E
Even while undeserving
Steady, firm, and rooted
Like the red rose bud
The majestic monarch butterfly lands upon
Gold and black
Black and gold
Right outside the window sill
Right
Outside
The window sill
My Lord
My God
My everything
The one sure thing
God, seldom words describe your love...
