Distant Thoughts

Sunlight shining through patient leafs
pleasing those whom urge for ease
Calm breeze feel my skin 
recuperate me from what I've been
Soft the sand beneath my soles
halt me from antecedent faults
Where dawn winds whirled 
my heart froze beneath dispute

But peaceful leafs and nature's song 
calm me now, reigning my soul
Revive me Lord for Thou art;
the Father of nature and Father to me
Food for my soul Thou art to be
The pleasure of being naturally.

Hello Samantha,, :) Thank you for the comment on my comment. I am looking forward, in hearing from you again. You will enjoy this site, I guaranteed or my fun poetry name isn't PD :) I highly recommend the blog area, there you can read what is hot, and what is going on here at The Poetry Soup. If you like click on some of the side features ((-UNDER- the area where it reads "Member Poets/Poems")) to the left of this comment. -That's my favorite soup section. If you scroll down to where it reads "Contests" you will enjoy the "Contest Winners: Member " feature. Click away, and check out what's cooking. Enjoy reading and following, many of the incoming winners. "I SURE DO." Please feel free to comment and read any of my poems, if you'd like. My poems are not the easiest to understand:) I'm still learning myself. However, I enjoy encouraging others. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I might be able to help, if not I will recommend someone. Take Care ~LINDA~
