A willow grew by a smooth, clear lake,
And let her laces glide
Above the deep, blue stillness,
That they might be multiplied.

Because the Maker of that tree,
In His divine direction,
Had spread a mirror at her feet---
To double her perfection!

This one is lovely, Rex. I adore the way you praise the beauty of nature, and the inspiring images you paint for us. The world is a wonderful place, so sad that we forget that so often.

Rex; Lovely poem of the beauty of nature.
I love the idea of the double reflection. So inspiring! Ellie

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

Rex,

I've a pond in my pasture,
reflecting the blue's azure
so pretty is your picture here
your peace is so sincere...

With your words you have created a most intriguing image in my mind of God's creation.  Bob <><

It sure does leave a nice image in one's mind. Your words are simple, but full of meaning. Short but ever so sweet!

I really enjoy reading them
