From Seed to Tree

FROM SEED TO TREE

Her eyes see plenty
even in the simplest of things
flowers and road maps on petals
forming patterns like wings.

The base of the stem
along with it's many leaves
traveling onto the warm soil
in which it continually feeds.

Thirst quenched by the care taker
she feeds them each day,
as she approaches her garden
there is much more to say.

She gracefully walks over
certain expressions form on her face
appearing slightly tense while calm
welcome to her sacred place.

Her eyes scan the area
breathing in sighs of a certain relief
inhaling compete admiration
now validating all of her spiritual beliefs.

She touches the fruit tree
following all it's curves and branches
Several plantings representing
painful circumstances.

This one particular tree
completely nourished from seed
thoughts lead to reminiscing
pausing now thinking of unmet needs.

But as the fruits begin to drop
a "hush"suddenly calms her mind
no need for fear
realizing she content now,
by just being right here.

Nature Eternally

NATURE ETERNALLY

Words dance in delight
As the poet begins to write
Of the soft prancing of horses
Creeping slowly towards moon lit waters
None can capture its entirety
the movement and vibration
as nature moves within herself
through all of its trials and tribulations
Such radiance is the water
As it gives to all creatures
As in the horse trotting along
Stopping to drink the knowledge of its teacher
Nature and man living in unit together,
One hinging upon the other
Both physical and instinctual for continuity
While anticipating our universe lasting forever
These moments of beauty
Flowing and transcending
As the writers’ hand tries to capture entirely,
The blessed beauty of nature
That lovingly withstands for all to treasure

The Sea of Tranquility

THE SEA OF TRANQUILITY

 

Cherished moments of calm
As I watch and try to capture
The silence and peacefulness
Exhaling slowly into rapture.
Feelings of serenity gradually wash over me
As my thoughts pausing
Slowly
Further away and into infinity.
Being here in solitude
Allowing troubles to drift  ashore.
I have found a resting place.
No need for worrying anymore.
The Sea of Tranquility;
One of the only places I long to go.
Stopping here and experiencing it is a gift.
Oh,
How I love you so!
