Above and Below

Up on a rocky foothill I could see the canopy of the forest, a wind was pushing green waves through the thickly knitted foliage. Not satisfied, I climbed higher. On the high beak of a peak. I stood, peering over a wing-flying sky. Between the winged air, and the verdant waves below, mind walked, across God's heart.

Hello Eric, your poem paints a breathtaking picture of the natural world and the transcendent experience of being in its midst. I loved your imagery of ascending to higher vantage points, from the rocky foothill to the peak, evokes a sense of awe and wonder. The juxtaposition of the canopy of the forest and the vast expanse of the sky highlights the interconnectedness of all creation. Your words invite the reader to contemplate the divine beauty. - Blessings, Daniel
