~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Somewhere above the sky, born of the color of summer Iris, swirl galaxies of brilliant stars. On fine nights such as this I feel their energy the same way the smile of the one I love infuses my soul, raising me higher. So, I pause, letting my feet join the serenity of quietness and breathe. That's when I feel it all the more; I sense energy from the trees, the birdsong, and the very soil upon which I stand. They say the universe is all connected, as are we all, and in this moment it's so tangible, so real.
gracefully I walk meditatively, calmly the universe speaks

Sometimes we feel so connected with it all! How can that be except that God deemed it so. Blessings, dear one! … born of the color of summer Iris… I sense energy from the trees, the birdsong, and the very soil upon which I stand…

I agree with your insightful words, dear Kim. God's hand is truly in all that I see, sense, etc. I, too, sense the energy in the trees and the birds. I love working in our yard...something about the very life in the soil makes me feel so joyful. Have a splendid day, hugs & blessings, Sara

Wonderfully reminiscing amid beauty and grace of nature, Sara: --gracefully I walk meditatively, calmly the universe speaks--I feel the tranquil vibes you delivered.

Dear Sara, Beautiful poem about how everything in the world is linked to everything else and how understanding this connection brings peace and unity. The experience of feeling the energy and presence of the world like loved ones and nature, is also important. The syntax used in the poem is full of vivid images and physical details.
