At the Arboretum

At the Arboretum Two walked the gardens on that day; (Only one seen on the rock pathway) One struck with pansies, lilies, greens! The Other in peace enjoys the scene. A rustling breeze was softly blowing Waterfalls trickled as gentle rain Beauty not stagnant, ever growing Lifting the weight of all mental pain And the one whispered “thank you Father” Heart beating in a cadenced thrill, With the trilling of a thousand songbirds A tree-breeze-flower-watery fill. The unseen Other whispering too, My dear child it is my grace for you, And all others who will walk with Me Will be filled with Truth, My glory see.

Nice imagery, Sunlite. And the denouement of this poem with a note of God-gifted natural grandeur steals my heart too.

I'm fortunate to live close to some world-class gardens on a lake. I am "blown away" every time I visit there. Thank you so very much for taking time to read and comment.
