A Poem: Life—Naturally
A forest stroll mirrors living
Today’s Audio—
Hello all and sundry,
Good to see you! How about a joining me in the forest today? Bring your drink! I have some trail mix to share. Let’s go out and immerse ourselves in nature. This stroll is all about deep breaths, feet on the good earth, and taking in the natural beauty of God’s work.
Today’s poem was inspired by all of that. While on a walk, after a pretty good rain we had in June, I was deeply moved by the scene’s mirror of living this human life. Reflection brought thoughts of connecting with faith and what our coming and going is all about. When I got back to the house, I felt a poem coming on.
Life—Naturally is what fell from me.
My gratitude for you being here and spending this time to read and listen.
Many blessings and MUCH LOVE,
~Wendy💜
Life—Naturally
The after rain With damp clinging To air Awakening scent Of sweet earth Dense in Under canopy Compost and mulch Cedar needle rich Inhales Cleanse through To soul Slow Slowing Slower now Droplets take Drip to Meet a waiting Ground Still thirsty And welcoming A fresh song Sung from Wing fluffed Fliers Ready to take Afterbath Flight Their notes Float a Familiar melody Earth After Heaven’s tears Assure of promise Clouds find part Sun seeks Colors in order Give arch A brilliant JOY A blessed comfort Love of The Light.
