Blessings and Peace

As I lay on the forest floor, 
peacefully gazing at the starry sky,
I wonder about the blessings,
                 ~that are numerous,
                   than the stars passing by.

The sodden forest ground,
the smell of ferns and fronds,
chirping night voices,
            ~ earth's blessings,
  	    and bond,
  	    with creatures roaming along.

Soft brumal winds,
their tinkling hints,
snowflakes floating around,
jewels of wintry crown,
           ~ seasonal blessings,
  	   lovingly,
 	   showered down.

I adored it from the onset to the end because of the exquisite metaphor and the profound brilliance of your diction, Dr. Vandana Sharma.
