Notes About The Poem

Pine Needle Designs

Pine needles were left in designs of waves on the sand
Where the wind like a paint brush, left them on the ground
I walk by this painting, created perfectly by nature 
A wisp of soft waves displayed, almost alluring
As I stare, my mind drifts with the waves and I see
Things that touch my heart like the tip of a pine needle
Softly touching me, painting a delicate message
                    --- Everything is Okay ---

I am told there has been some problem with being able to comment on this poem. I don't know why, but I am seeking to find out why.

Mother nature at her finest, for sure. We can find beautiful art everywhere when we open our eyes and mind to look deeper than the surface! This is truly outstanding. Congratulations on your win!

Thank you for checking. For some reason poets Jan and Freddie can't get through today (7/9) on this one.

The title alone hooked me as I was strolling past and now that I have read the piece and seen the photos, wow Heidi, this was wonderful and filled with the beauty of nature. "Pine needle designs" I wish I had though of that. :)
