Talking Leaves

I stand in the wind and watch the trees. I look at limbs stretching 40 feet in the air toward blue sky. The upper branches bend and sway as the leaves lift a song of praise to the Creator.

Rain comes.

The soggy leaves droop and drip. Their shudder sends a cascade of droplets to the ground. They sing a muted song.

Sunshine again.

The leaves whisper in the breeze. They give thanks for sun and rain.

I stand and watch the trees. I hear the soft rustle of their song and I join my voice to theirs. The talking leaves and I offer praise, honor and glory to our Lord.
