The Revealing

Fog meets water

Sun breaks through

Steaming fog bridges the distance between water and air,

Revealing the dark outlines of those mighty pines 

Standing tall, standing true, unassuming yet strong.

Such beauty in both - the seen and the unseen, 

the revealed and the mysterious.

A season for both - for everything under the sun.

“One day, I will show you,” promises the old man.

“And it will be just like this moment you remember

When the silent beauty of those pines surprised you with its grandeur,

And spoke peace and steadiness over the desert lands.”

I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten-
The great locust and the young locust,
The other locusts and the local swarm,
My great army that I sent among you.

-Joel 2:25
