Mesmorized

Through the bosky brush, straight lines stand
Lean and sinewy, yet with thickness, strong
Surrounding the curtilage which encases -
Elysium ensconced on a heavenly hill
Lines point upwards, then take many different paths
Each direction, somewhat crooked lines hold ornaments
Like a pendant that hangs on one's neck
Yet an arboreous arrangement for all to see
Thousands of jewels yet none alike
Each holds data, its own memory
Someone knows this;  someone accomplished all this

I came out of my torpid daze
Looked out west from his dwelling place
Dozens of tall oak trees endure in majesty

Amazed am I at this creation; the Creator
The Wonder of it all

Thomas, my talented friend, I am captivated by your writing. I also find it educational.... I've grown attached to my dictionary as I read your posts.... magnificent work... This one, in praise of the one sovereign God of all, reached and touched a special spot in my heart.... Jake

You nailed it my friend. True story on my last vist to see Mom, in the house I grew up in. She passed away May 6, and sadly, the house on heavenly hill is up for sale. None of her six sons decided to buy the house; under the right circumstances it is the perfect place to live, but it's time for another family to enjoy God's beauty. Yes, God is good brother. Thanks, Thomas

All God's world is amazing to me! And He put it here for us to discover and enjoy. Your poem gives us visions of His beauty in creation. Wonderfully done.
