During the summer I caught the most beautiful formation in the clouds. I tried to snap a picture but the clouds had moved by the time I was able to get the camera. I'm hoping this poem will paint that image for you. I do have a picture of some of the formation that was shaped like a hand up to the wrist. Between the poem and the picture I hope it will paint the image for you that I saw.
Cool Waters
As I bathed in the cool waters
I was warmed by a sight above
The hand of the Holy Spirit encircled the sky
His fingers they stretched far and wide
His arms were covered in pure white wool
like that of a lamb
Though I lay in the water so cool
the sight of His hand warmed me through
As I lay still bathing in the cool waters
I could feel the Holy Spirit lift me
up from the water and hold me for a short moment
then He lay me down back into the cool waters
only to have a wave suddenly shake me back to reality
Though I lay in the water so cool
the sight of His hand warmed me through
As I lay still bathing in the cool waters
I was warmed further by a message
carried forth by the wind
"He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul"
The hand of the Holy Spirit then faded from the sky
but never from my heart
As I climbed out from the cool waters
and stood on the beach drying in the warm sun
I sensed he was near and
felt His breath whisper in my ear
"Be Still and know that I am God"
Never has such cool water warmed me so much
than that moment when I saw
the Hand of the Holy Spirit across the sky.
Psalms 23 : 2,3 He leads me beside still water. He restores my soul
Psalms 46:10 Be Still and know that I am God

This poetry is not only Praise to God but it is also a testimony of His work in my life. Even when I haven't paid attention, He was there through it all. God Loves Me even though I am not perfect and that's enough for me.
