Mockingbirds' entertainment
         As the sunrises
            Underneath cobalt skies
                 Sending forth yellow muted beams
                       Into a world of mankind's silence

Pecan trees' young tender leaves
         Have filled out, matured, color deepened
                  Darkness still fills the woods
                          As woodpecker comes to life
                                    

Fragrance of magnolia blossoms
        Floats upon cool morning air
               It's scent and gardenia intersect
                       Surrounding my nose with delight

The cool air is quite still
          There is no susurration in the trees
                   Only the sound of songbirds
                        A chorus radiates from each tree

The sound of mankind traveling
          Two cars come up the road
                   Speeding along in confidence
                           Going to work or home~ who knows

Thank you, God
              For time out on the porch
                      A few minutes to commune with You and nature
                                 Help me to make it through this day
                                           Doing what I can

Hilda, really lovely this is. I spend moments outside during the day when I can and also revel in the sights, sounds, and smells. It's a real joy and part of the reason for living. Your descriptions are so well orchestrated in your work.

If communing with nature helps you clear out the cobwebs AND connect with the Ultimate Source --- by all means, join a commune. From one hippie to another, Gershon. (LOL).

Sara, A beautiful poetry about nature and God. It also celebrates nature, morning serenity, and the contrast between nature and human life. Well-penned
