When it was nearing dusk I just had to
Get out.
I walked slowly around the
Neighborhood, glad that I was alone.
For once, I didn't want to talk.
I soaked up the solitude.
I stopped.
I stood in the green space near the
Mailboxes and simply looked up.
I took in every detail of the sky.
I noticed a sliver of red in the south and
To the north, ominous dark clouds were
Piling up and in constant motion.
Was rain coming?
I silently admired God's creativity.
In His handiwork, I sensed His presence.
Was anyone watching as I was watching the
Transition from daylight, to dusk, to dark, an
Evening scene so commonplace we
Overlook the glory of it?
Was anyone peaking out a window wondering
What in the world I was doing just standing
There?
If so, I didn't care.
I gazed skyward until my soul was
Satisfied, and then I walked the few steps
Back home and got ready for bed.
