Note:

After having regained a bit of my former self.

I wrote three dark poems- while in my melancholy state.

I will maybe post those at a later date.

Decided to post this positive, uplifting and imaged

filled poem as my comeback presentation. And decided

to work with a different form. A combo idea I have had

for a long time but never got around to experimenting

with it. So please understand this is my very first

effort with it -my "virgin foray" into it so to speak.

I hope you may enjoy it and get something positive

and uplifting from its message, imagery and hope born

within. God bless...

************* Beautiful Scenes And Treasures Divinely Born Downward ... Soft specks falling, Like echoes frozen white Whispers sent from December skies Downward. (The Ancient Tree ).. Thereinto awe its magnificent trunk sinking its teeth into soft virgin ground earth paying no heed as each deeper sunk as to its firm teether, the tree was bound. Above grown reaching for bright sky and sun umbrella limbs hanging massive and long biggest was giant arms weighing a ton handy stages for songbirds and sweeter song. Morning sun's rays glistening eager leaves as the dancing breeze moved them too and fro beauty that stirs mankind to God believe divine hands painted Nature's sweeping show. Ancient tree in hidden forest gleaming With beauty sublime and clear brooks streaming. Winter ... Ground creamy white, Trees, moaning pallid skies Children thanking Christmas break and Winter.
