I Saw a Poem Dancing

Nature's up at break of day, revealing beauty around me lay. I see the sunrise flashing through, coloring the hills purple and blue. A squirrel scampers through dew wet grass, a nut in is cheeks as he hurries past. I listen to a far off waterfall, and hear chirping birds sing their mating call. Brown and yellow butterflies delight my ever searching eyes. And wild flowers fragrant and sweet, smell like my Savior, someday I will meet. Now a balmy breeze blows through my hair, and a poem dances in the air. .

Hi Darlene. Yes, sometimes the poem is already there dancing before our eyes. All we need to do is simply write it down and share it with others. That you have done, my friend, and it was a joy to read. May the light of god shine upon you.... Robert.

Nature refreshes our soul and revives our spirit when we take the time to appreciate it. Thanks, Dr. Upma for liking my poem. When you take your next nature walk, poems will be waiting for you, also, before your exploring eyes.

Thanks, njeri, and yes, please consider going for a nature walk. Don't forget to take your pen and notebook because you also might find a poem there. The scent of our sweet Savior is strong in nature. And His voice is in the singing birds and bubbling brooks, as well as in the wind.
