YES THERE IS!
She looks at me and wails,
“There is no God!”
My mind whirls…
I touch Him by leaning into the wind.
Absorb the warmth of His caress
through the rays of the sun.
Bathe in the soothing waters
of His rain shower.
See the splendor of His cloak in the tapestry
of May’s flowers and October’s foliage.
Taste His joy in the sweet nourishing
nectars of the peach and watermelon.
Smell His cologne in the fragrances
of the lilac and honeysuckle.
Hear His lyric voice and comforting
message in the chatter of the bubbling brook.
I retort,
“YES, THERE IS!”
