Crushed by merciless shifting sands,
The ancient bole of a dead tree stands
With outstretched arms flung high and wide
Above the cruel and hopeless tide
Of glittering sands, whose avid haste
Had turned the green to barren waste.
Yet here and there an inward spark
Of Faith was strong within the dark,
And cleft the sand with unseen power
To fragrantly bring forth a flower!
Thus Hope may spring with strength anew,
To know such blossoms bravely grew
Within the depths and rose so free
Above the sands that killed a tree!

This is a poetic reminder to me that those things that are imposible for mankind are never imposible for God. Even creation speaks of unlimited posibilities from the Creator of all things. Thank you for sharing your vision.

Rex: This is an incredibly lovely poem of faith and hope. A poem beautifully depicting
the wonder of Gods' neverending glory and power. Beautifully poetic! Ellie

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

Beautifully descriptive of His love so strong for us. I loved your poem. Was hesitant at first to go it - titles can be misleading. My apologies. Sheri.
