Time To Ponder This World and So Much More

Time To Ponder This World And So Much More Within dreams that this soul truly adores Where mountain ridges highlight bright sun's glow Green valleys below, lakes with sandy shores Life content as blessed happiness pours- Pathways that a true, sincere seeker treads Lined with beautiful flowers shining bright Gems dancing within Mother Nature's beds In this earthly realm, a glorious sight. Morning's promise, day with radiant rays Time to ponder this world and so much more All the better, if one will learn to pray Eye opening deep truth, never a bore- Such rich treasures are found, if one but looks Beyond those tragic shadows this world casts So much more to find, far beyond school books Love's deep truth, richer life, that truly lasts. Robert J. Lindley, 9-08-2019 Rhymer, ( What Life, This World And Nature Gives )

What a beauty you have sketched touching the horizons beyond the bookish knowledge, where really dwells the refreshing glow of Nature's beauty. Your poem reminded me the lines -What is this life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare. No time to stand beneath the boughs And stare as long as sheep or cows. No time to see, when woods we pass, Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass. No time to see, in broad daylight, Streams full of stars, like skies at night..... Wbw...Ravindra

A seeker of truth who sees beyond "school books".. beautiful souls that connect with mother Nature.. learn from its depth and silence.. quench their senses in its heavenly solitude.. another beauty from the wonders of your striking and enlightening poetry, Robert! An immense pleasure reading.. a cherished fave.. my warmest regards and blessings..

Hi Robert, what an exceptional piece. Your descriptive powers bring us into the heart of your piece, with such wondrous vistas. So many times we do miss nature's treasures. Much can be learned from nature and life in general. I think I shall now sit back and just revel in the imagery your poem has created. Time for some peace. Have a wonderful tuesday. yoiur friend always....Mike. A fav.

Thank you my friend. Poets should be judged by heart and soul , what they put into their works. Not just how many comments they make to others. My works all have meaning and come from this old poet's poetic soul.
