Garden Delight

Sanctus! Sanctus! Sanctus! Unison of voices in floral cathedral Viola and pansies, a chorus of daisies Amarrylis Chrisanthemum Agapanthus Cascades of colour inviting a crescendo Yellow petalled flowers of the sun Bowed in prayerful contrition To the Great and glorious One Agape throats of ululating halleluia Victoriously perched in garden Getsemane Infected the song of creatures on high Flying flowers of the sky Glorificamus Tè Benedictimus Tè Adoramus Tè Here come the butterflies Flitting and darting and dashing and fun Unhinged and erratic in zigzagging flight Probing proboscis a coiled searching spring Suffronic powder cover their knees and their wings Urgent the nectar! The burrowing bees Assembly of beauty -I become undone Annointing my spirit- unfurling my sight

Dear Jannie, I think this is the best poem about the glory of nature I have ever read. It is more than a poem, it is a tribute to the highest in celebration of Love. Bravo! Blessings, Connie : )

Sort of a proof of god by its effect. What is beauty and its power?

Oh, Jannie ... you've outdone yourself w/this most creative write. To show nature (God's creation) giving glory to God (in Latin even ... oh, my!) Your poetic genius never ceases to astound me, my dear friend. I so LOVE this poem. And of course, you hit a soft spot in this old, hardcase lion. I love any science-type things. You delivered big time w/this poem. Great poem! Love and joy forever, brother.
