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
