This Wonderous Place--He Has Only Just Begun Poetry Contest
Poem written for "He Has Only Just Begun Poetry Contest,"

“A tree is the grand poem of the natural world, a beauty that encourages the spirit to dance. In the strong light of a new day, it creates a kiss for the senses in its moving leaves, the thousand green hues, and the soft whispering of the wind.” (author unknown)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The whispers of the wind speak a language Divine,
of love, mercy, and forgiveness—one only God can create.
In this oasis of silence, I find solace and rest,
quietly listening to the trees whispering His wisdom.
Here, the lavender lilacs bloom with symmetrical grace;
hummingbirds flitter from flower to flower, with nary a care.
The sun shines brightly bringing the soothing warmth of hope,
while the shade provides a cool, comforting reprieve.
The wind whispers secrets, of an all-encompassing Love,
one that's pure and true, always guiding me and seeing me through.
It tells of a God who dwells in this wondrous place,
a God who wipes away tears of my soul and heals my broken spirit.
In this most sacred space, I find my heart renewed,
my spirit lifted high, and my soul with Him forever bound.
In the whispers of the wind, I hear the voice of God,
a gentle voice that speaks a language of endless, eternal Love.
I come here often to this place of peace and rest
letting the wind's Divine whispers be my guide.
In this oasis of silence, this wonderous place, I find my eternal home,
where the love of God, forever will be my own.
