Notes About The Poem

Image result for pictures of rocky white hills rising from a lake in the fall

Ashened

"There is a fountain inside of you, don't go around with an empty bucket." Rumi Ashened white rocky hills rise Covered with pines and oaks Autumn's entrance has colored them They wear orange and gold cloaks Upon the precipice above Looking over the scene A feeling of awe overpowers From this view I have seen God in His handiwork gives gifts We can fill our empty souls It doesn't cost any money Just vision to behold

Paired nicely with my morning coffee. I can smell the Autumn smoke and see out my window, that Auburn cloak.

God paints the sky with colors and decorates the earth with magesterial scenes. We don't have to give anything to view them. It is absilutely free of cost ! Lovely descriptions, dear Sara !

The vision of picturesque nature and the philosophical richness that you've displayed here are truly magnificent dear Sara! I truly love that quote by Rumi and so beautifully you've elaborated on this.. Your imagery and wordplay.. Oh so breathtaking.. True, we are a gorgeous fountain of life, only if we let ourselves soar in the fascinating breeze of self-discovery and freedom..

Some find it hard to grasp light when its sunlight and and when all is warm, but whatever we may have infront always good to remind others and ourselves to allow and appreciate it. I love the imagery here and use of colors and flow of this poem: as well as that quote you’ve used here too is brilliant! Absolutely stunning and very deeply meaningful. Pleasure reading you always

God's grace is freely given. It is up to us to grab God's gifts, otherwise, they go to others. Blessings
