Silently cry the birds...
Take your eyes from your screens.
And notice me.
Watch the sky.
See beauty.
Look away from busyness.
Look away from technology.
Which holds you in chains every day.
From noticing beauty.
From seeing God's glory.
In creatures.
In creation.
Take your eyes from your screens.
From your obsession.
And notice me.
Notice beauty.
Look! There are hundreds of us
flying overhead in the blue summer sky.
Don't you see us?
Will you just stop.
For a moment.
And look up.
To beauty.
Silently cry the birds...
Will we heed their cry,
or pass them by?
Will we wait until it's too late?
Silently cry the birds.
Take your eyes from your screens.
And notice me.
Watch the sky.
See beauty.
Look away from busyness.
Look away from technology.
Which holds you in chains every day.
From noticing beauty.
From seeing God's glory.
In creatures.
In creation.
Take your eyes from your screens.
From your obsession.
And notice me.
Notice beauty.
Look! There are hundreds of us
flying overhead in the blue summer sky.
Don't you see us?
Will you just stop.
For a moment.
And look up.
To beauty.
Silently cry the birds...
Will we heed their cry,
or pass them by?
Will we wait until it's too late?
Silently cry the birds.
Earlier this week, when I was driving, and then when I arrived home on my street, the sky was full of birds! I had never seen so many at one time. I hope others noticed besides me, in this age we live in where people are obsessed with their iPhones. Recently, a nature park we have has been overrun by people playing games on their iPhones, and I wonder, do they even notice the nature around them? To me, it's just sad. My opinion, but I hope there are others out there who see my point. Take care.
