Nature's Sanctity

.       worshipping limbs sway
               holy leaves lay on stained rocks
                       canopy of saints

This is beautiful, Abe. I agree with Carolyn, it does sound like a cathederal. Such a lovely image. Thank you for your warm and thoughtful comment. I have missed everyone and I see I have lots of catching up to do. I am so happy to be back "home". Good luck! Love, Robin
