Listen to poem:

Meadow

I walked into a meadow
Such beauty did I see
Turns out it's been here
All this time
Revealed so gently

I walked into a meadow
Tamed in part
Yet mostly wild
I skipped among the flowers
Felt the freedom of a child

I walked into a meadow
Shared the warmth
Of her caress
The sunlight of her radiance
A view designed to bless

I walked into that meadow
Without purpose
Soon to learn
A heart can hold more love inside
Than out can ever earn

Dear Sam, this is a real beauty! Such a delightful, tranquil read with perfect flow and narration. It’s a captivating read as you gently draw the reader into the meadow too. Love the sense of freedom, happiness, sudden found wonder with the beauty and warmth of Mother Nature tenderly wrapping her arms around you. I also love the last stanza, the significance of ‘that’ meadow and all its offered and given to you. What was learned from being there with an appreciative, open heart that inwardly,

Your poem captures the essence of discovering the profound, and if you will unassuming, beauty that nature holds. It reminds us of the joy that simple presence and observation can bring. I liked your reading of the poem as well. Best wishes, Don Iannone

Thank you SV for stopping by x I think it is a love poem deep down. There is also a reflection of those moments of peace we find in nature as often we can find them in people, maybe unexpectedly. A kind of welcoming embrace from a kindred soul also looking for their meadow.. blessings to you :))

This is so beautiful dear sam, sometimes we dont know what is around us, simply we seem oblivious to the beauty and light around us at times and sometimes, just living in the moment, and embracing little things can be joyful, this poem i think fits for seekers contest, in a very deep manner. A heart definitely can hold so much more than one even can imagine.. i love the flow of this and how you’ve delivered it! Its definitely one of my faves from you. So soulful
