God painted this portrait of emerald and crimson Soothing my soul with the brilliant and vivid Colors of miracles caressing my heart and spirit Breathing out whispers of sentiments that touch me With a sense of faith in all that gives hope in this world God graced the misty mountain morning with a touch Of joy and inspiration that comes from discovering Peace that knows no worry or anxiety, but fulfills dreams With the tender embrace of rainfall that brings with it Dancing lights of star and moon, insights into satisfaction God welcomed these jubilant flowers that touch thoughts With charming desires for tomorrow’s creativity and vision Moments of encouragement colored in hues of acceptance Prayers that come alive with amazing intuitions combining To produce heavenly aromas of kindness felt in this place God breathed the sparkles into the stars and light into sunshine Flavored the gardens with delicate hands to harvest all the gifts From this rich and raw soil which knows nothing of depression But feels alive with all of nature’s senses and direction, the course Toward sweet talents sent down from heaven to bless us God’s garden was Eden, free from evil and even the least sin Even now, on this earth, there is the feeling of purity and hope Discovered in the tiny seeds that are planted and nourished Bringing sprouts of loving plants which fill hearts with serenity Tranquility that leads hearts to believe in God’s forever, eternity! God blessed me with a garden and I feel sure He has, ever so gently, Touched my heart with a piece of true fertility only found within The one who believes in the Son who found Himself in the garden Of Gethsemane, awaiting the moment when we would be spared From the death that only He would need to experience to free us all God gave us more than a garden when He spared us our own Gethsemane He gave each one of us a gift of pure, phenomenal love without conditions A love that would be the answer to every prayer, every mystery, Love that arises when we discover the answers can only be found In the spiritual intimacy attained with a relationship bought and paid for by Him, Our personal Savior… The giver of all the flowers, gardens and vivid portraits Of nature! Petal, buds, blossoms, bees, birds, butterflies! Poetry Contest Sponsor: Silent One July 30, 2020
