Moments of Writing

I have decided to start writing more poetry again. I know most people don't know that I like to write, but I do. :) I don't usually share much of it because it's personal, but I came across one of my poems again that I feel I can share.

 By Melina Sanchez June, 2006


With a colorful countenance for all to see
She is unaware of her own beauty

Quietly gliding thru the air
Flying lightly, without a care

Softly landing from flower to flower
So delicate, not knowing her own power

She helps bring life to the earth
By her gentile work, the soil gives birth

The trees bear fruit, the flowers blossom
She helps us see, our Creator is Awesome

He can do to us what we see in her
Change and transform us from what we were

He wraps us tightly in His grace
The solitude and quiet we embrace

An unseen work is being done
Something so different then how we begun

Made beautiful by the touch of His hand
A work is done, our hearts expand

When the Lord touches our soul
Giving Him full control

We too can be as the butterfly
Flying freely thru the sky
