SCABBACOMBE

SCABBACOMBE 14.5.’18

Orange-tip, Fritillary, Red Admiral & Peacock sparks,
With flitting goldfinches above and serenading high skylarks:

The wheat in flagleaf quietly grows,
The sea is calm, pots deep in rows
With orange buoys their mark bestows –
A dappled harmony billows,
With blue-belled cliffs to frame display,
A perfect early summer’s day.

Red Campion and coloured snails,
All beauty-thronging peace prevails:

How such creation gets explained
By mechanistic fancies strained –
Almighty God, You have designed,
Created all this beauty signed
By Your Great Signature of Love,
Connecting earth to heaven above.
