a green feeling color

I was alone at the beginning of my life

Then God touched my soul. He made it breath, made it feel and love.

I saw the colorful view, I saw everything but I could not see it through His eyes. 

Sometimes I would hear Him whisper to me in the silence, and I would look around.

Sometimes I would run to find him. 

I would stare at the sky – was He in the clouds? The stillness? The rain?

The comfort of the grass beneath my feet led me to an open meadow where the grass grew tall and green 

That field was vast and quiet.. and I could smell the clay that the grass was growing in

It was a world apart.. no one else knew

I wondered if God was in the clay - if He was holding the grassy meadow together like that earth.

Was it Him, holding me together?

Were His kisses beneath my feet, like that damp earth?

Did I know what it meant to be loved?

That was God’s field - but He gave it to me

It always seemed to ask me the same questions: Have you seen His face, have you seen the things He has made?

No, I would think, I have not seen Him.. but I know Him..

I know how much more beautiful He must be than the things His hands have made

Can beauty heal?

Now I know it can

His beauty, His life, truth, strength, purity, joy... forgiveness and mercy

Forever and ever and ever

He is the fairytale come true 

Sometimes now, I can see things through His view..

And I don't ever want to leave that place
