"#3, Rumi quote: Let the beauty of what you love, be what you do." What I love is my perfect life, Falling to my knees at life's strife: And I seek beauty when alone: O, God is my foundation stone. I sketch till hands are pencil stained, And write till my hands are ink veined: I love to explore the unknown: O, God is my foundation stone. I tend lovely flowers growing, Love my garden overflowing: And sing in a voice monotone: O, God is my foundation stone. What I do is my reflection, thanks Rumi for the direction: thanks Lord for heavenly light shone: O, God is my foundation stone. Poetry and art my delight, love photos taken in dawn's light: With Rumi and God I have grown: O, God is my foundation stone.

Constance, there is such a gentle serenity in your words. Your poems reflect your love of writing, painting and your garden along with many of your more somber themes on life and death. I love the sense of gratitude in this poem. Best wishes for the contest. Blessings!
