I’ve traveled here,
to sit, ponder
Basking in the glory
of nature
Feeling the warmth
of the sun
Soaking in the sounds
of water falling
(The rush of silence is awakening)
Freeing me, to find
my inner peace
These things,
I have somehow
Taken for granted,
Thinking they,
would always
be here for me
(Bestowed upon us from Heaven above)
And while the leaves
of the trees, provide
with their shade,
I shall always
turn my face
toward the light
(In thankful prayer for His many blessings)

A beautiful photo with very relevant and equally beautiful words… I love both….I have a question here, the words, the feel of your poem matches the picture perfectly, do you give words to the picture or you write first and then find the suitable picture… (little curios)… Wish you a wonderful time my friend…..

Both! Sometimes I find a picture that sparks my imagination and sometimes I spend hours looking for the perfect picture to go with my words. I usually tweak the poem a bit to match the photo. Have a great weekend, my friend! 🙂

This is lovely, Dorinda, and so peaceful. I like the unusual form too.

Thanks so much, Diana. I interjected my thoughts in between, not really the poem in itself, but me, pondering. Not sure what you’d call the form lol
