I imagine Nature as a token of love; A warm blanket wrapped 'round me, a gift from above. I am lifted with the sunrise in dawn's mauve light, And soar with the eagle in his morning flight. I imagine bright flowers that I've never seen Spread out over mountains in a mélange of green. The voice of thunder clapping in a cloudy sky, Quenches thirsty flowers with rainclouds passing by. I flow along with tradewinds out to salty seas, Creating currents, as I pass beyond the trees. My body has no bounds and I'm lighter than air, Ensconced in such beauty, I can fly anywhere. I am nearing the forest of tall redwood trees, And swaying at their tops overlooking canopies. Bird songs are my music as I sing along in tune, 'Till daytime vanishes and I'm charmed by the moon. Stars surround this lady who sheds her silver light, Lending stealthy vision to creatures of the night. I like to imagine if gifted with the choice, I CAN compose a poem to share my poetic voice. 1-30-2016

Your work is so so pleasant to read, Connie. The imagery is beautiful..."Bird songs are my music as I sing along in tune, 'Till daytime vanishes and I'm charmed by the moon." My favorite lines.. Great one! Always, Laura

Yes. I also view us as surrounded by the forces of nature. It is my equivalent to the god that other's talk about often. You are flying dear poetess from one beautiful place to another. How wonderful to use these beautiful words to share the feeling!

Actually I combined Hawaii with the mainland as we don't have eagles or redwoods here. We do have tall pines and mountains and tradewinds. I figured it was okay because i am imagining it. Thanks for your kind words Ralph. Aloha, Connie
