Alive the Spring

Oh how sweet the taste of living, its soothing full; and joy..
This spring..' roll fields of clover, where ride the horse & boy
when wide blue sky is stretching, and forest boughs show green
there sweetly smile the maidens, as farmers feel like kings 
upon the shaded benches, people sit this day; the lark is rising steeply
where winds a dust clad; pilgrims way..'

Joe Maverick Date: 1/26/2022 10:30:00 PM Hello Paul, I Don't claim it as mine really I Beleive all true poetry flows from God I Am merely a conduit (which is a great privilege) Maybe there is more of me in the mediocre Pieces, but in all truth everything either spiritual Or physical is the Lords so it's academic If we get right down to it.'
