Filtering through

It was all filtering through,

The sunlight scattered

through budding branches

The sound of a creek

running down the rocks

on the other side of the lake

A chorus of chirps and tweets

from a random choir of birds

busy in the canopied choiry.

All of it hidden – the sun, the creek,

the birds – all unseen

But what I felt and heard

was real beyond belief

Like the love of God

for a thankful soul like me.

Impossible to understand

Impossible to deny.
