The Beauty of Simplicity
If you will listen, there is rhythm in the rain.
If you will see, there is beauty in the clouds.
If you will feel, there is a caress in the wind.
If you will breathe, there is freshness in the dew.
If you will taste, there is purity in the snow.
If you will listen, there is direction in the night.
If you will see, there is majesty in the moon.
If you will feel, there is excitement in the storm.
If you will breathe, there is joy in the valley,
If you will taste, there is sweetness in the fog.
If you will listen, there is music in the quiet.
If you will see, there is purpose in the pain.
If you will feel, there is love in the emptiness.
If you will breathe, there is rest in the journey.
If you will taste, you will see that the LORD is good.
