God and Nature Are Foundations In Each Soul

God And Nature Are Foundations In Each Soul
( Sestina Sonnet) (Number 5)


God and Nature give me such sweet release,
as both seep quite deeply into my soul.
Joined in this melding we race on carefree
and we in our wisdom dance two by two.

My life now consists of love of we two,
holding the joys in being so carefree.
Days and nights bring on our hottest release,
together build stronger each longing soul.

Nature and God live in a seeking soul,
creating scenarios for release.
Bathed in true light, they create sets of two,
with beloved brought pairs that are carefree.

God and Nature are foundations in each soul.
Man's quest should be to find divine release.

I've never heard of a sestina-sonnet before, but this was interesting. I agree. For whatever reason, it seems we feel more in touch with God when immersed in the nature scene, away from the rat race, cars, etc., lovely ending couplet, and thanks for sharing with me a new form! :)
