In the place where I live, curtains rise and fall every day presents a different view, snapdragons sing with a gifted voice. A focused sun spotlights, accentuates the morning glory of another day.  A faintly embossed rainbow  burned on the retina of a brand new sky.  Fireflies that like thousand watt bulbs  glow to light even the shadows they create.  I own my life, I cherish it  I live every moment in  celebration of every living species. Where I reside I see no end  I know of no beginning,  rather rolls of events  and miracles for the taking.  My arms remain open wide,  as does my mind with acceptance. In my habitat,  nature is wrapped in a quilt  of a trillion unimaginable views  in that landscape is where my God lives.  For it was he who by his own hands  knitted and sewed  this perfect mother called Nature.

An inspiring poem as well as the nature picture. "Fireflies like thousand watt bulbs," among so many other wonderful lines. Loved it, and it's a fav for me, among others of you've written. Thank you for sharing with us what you sense, feel and see around you. God has blessed you with a keen insight and love for all.
