Brightest Of Gems, In Glowing Emerald Forest There was a great tree there, its roots firmly planted as solid as love vows, those never recanted, its massive trunk and limbs, majestic to behold beautiful treasures, as in tales oft retold surrounding woods, a glimmering emerald green all in all, as if from a bright fairy tale scene. To visit, watch dawn's lights set it colors aglow is to see Heaven and Nature's truth, clearly know, our lives are wrapped in fragile, weakened human states chained cells of wants, each one praying its not too late seeing evidence of Heaven's stamp upon earth giving promises of better life, ones own worth. To find such peace basking in its soft healing touch one should kneel down to pray, requesting not too much, for Heaven's light flows forth from that massive, tall king from its branches, flocks of glorious birds oft sing within its cools shades, its living colors send out proof of God's glory, that cause believers to shout.

This line, "chained cells of wants," is very much like our imprisoning desire. IWe often want more than we need or can afford; what does it do for us? It clutters our homes and lives and uses up our money. Well penned.

Thank you my friend. I love that, "imprisoning desires", - dead on the mark! Our culture drives us to always want more and more and more. When we can be very happy with so much less...
