Roam Free

Wind whispers Clouds float free Blue sky above Tawny earth below God's artful handiwork Lured by this magic beauty, a poet sits to shape his thoughts. As myriad scenes flash past his mind, rhyming verses flow from his gifted pen. Nature is the best friend and companion. Watch butterflies kissing blooming buds. See ferns covering forest floors. Listen to birds' lovely songs. Their sweet music, relish. Be free from all blues. Roam through valleys. Love nature, in her charm!

It's interesting for me to contemplate your gorgeous etheree, as nature is no companion of mine -- that is, without someone to share it with. Alone, it's all a barren steppe to me. ~ Just thinkin'

Such a beautiful read! "a poet sits to shape his thoughts." As God has shaped and blessed all there is for him/her to see. We are all part of the same magnificent tapestry~in dim light even I don't look so bad my wife tells me:) Well said!
