Communing With Nature

Far and away the faint call of the loon
The sun dropping, darkness coming soon
The waters kissed by the last beams of light
An eagle soars to his home in the heights

Crowning the lake, forests dark and deep
Broken only by ancient rock faces steep
Giant trees surround the lake like a crown
In the beauty of nature the senses drown

We seek out these places to mend ragged souls
Reflection and meditation unconscious goals
To sit while the silence sings a heavenly tune
Interrupted only by the faint song of the loon

Lift up your eyes and heart to the new risen moon
For in these places, with Him, a time to commune
7/214

as one who writes sonnets and sonnets about nature I found this sonnet to be really good and well written..bravo to you.. good work, my only complaint is I wish you hadn't spaced the stanzas..but that's just me...loved it

thank you so much or your comment. I will take your complaint to heart. It just seems easier for me to write (and read) by dividing the stanzas..but you are correct..
