This is from the internet but I am going to see if I can get a picture later this week...Sara

Canopy of Cedars across the road
Offers a covering, a protection
Little rain upon it this morn abode
But in open field raindrops reflection

The field of Cedars was coated damp, too
Saturated with moisture from night's rain
Delightful morn to enjoy the gray hue
Solitude awhile definitely my gain

Solitude for the soul, inner being
Lifts, restores, refreshes spirit cleanses
Mourning Dove coos melodious singing
Alone but not alone soul appeases

Spilling and giving inner resources
As rain of the night gave its cadences

I completely agree with your tho'ts in this sonnett, Sara..Being with nature, especially surrounded by this canopy of cedars is solitude for my soul...It has powerful healing...it's very quiet where I am sitting and I can even hear the doves cooing in your write...nice poem, gal. Love ya, Gwendolen
