Birthing Loving Merciful Trees

Birthing Loving Merciful Trees Seeking any mercy, found greater peace every step gifted so very much more Quest gave my lonely life another lease ever a pleasure never a sad chore Every dawn brought another super gift happy nights, flying in with joyous ease Birds in flight forever , ever so swift love springing up, as pretty as you please Giving thanks for serenity and all journey concluded, racing quest sent back Joy answered each and every crying call acceptance for all that this life did lack Peace then birthed those loving merciful trees Joyous fruits answering desperate pleas Robert J.

This is utterly beautiful, it has almost an un earthly feel to it, the last stanza is perfect. I read this poem as a prayer, it's so serene and gentle too. Also the title is lovely, I actually first misread it ; Bringing instead of Birthing.

Thank you my friend . And thanks for not ripping me when I missed writing for your last contest after stating I would. I truly thought I had, only to find out I had not when the results were posted. My memory fails me a lot lately..

I love this poem, Robert. I quite understand that peace you dwell on herein. It is a wonderful feeling that I personally never thought I would achieve. Although I still write dark sometimes, my heart isn't there. Dynamic poetry!
