There is a path of stone
beneath the latticed arbor.
It curves between the fountain
and roses now in bloom.
Between each stone,
is emerald moss,
velvet to the touch.
The moss has grown
from water splahed,
upon the garden path.
The fountain sings
her merry song of melody
so sweet.
The path is ending
at a place I love to sit,
where tranquility abounds.

Father here I am with thee,
asking that you forgive,
all my failings of the day,
and splash Your lovely song
of Grace, upon this soul
of mine.
Soften all the edges,
into mossy verdent love,
that I might be a path,
where others find Your Grace.


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

How absolutely beautiful and creative
This is so soft and visual and the message is so delicately but clearly worded

  Once again I am in awe of the beautiful poetry you have blessed me with here! Your comparisons of the natural beauty of a graden and being in the spiritual communion with GOD is breath-taking!

Oh my Ellie, your tender heart does shine through in this.  How beautiful your gardens where you find such serenity.  What lovely images you have brought with this, just the two of you surrounded by roses.  Simply lovely.  Bonnie

I love this.You are Gifted by God to see the true beauty in all of His creation.Beauty that we,in our rush that life is,so often take for granted.Thank you for reminding me to stop in the beautiful place that God has created in our hearts,and take time to enjoy Him,and all that He has given us.
