maiden of earthly surrounds ...

the country lane called my name
for years i did not listen
hesitant to see her path's truth
reluctant to hear her crick's song
time lost without a staying visit

her beckoning's aria upon the wind
filtered through my window's crease
summoning my deepest hidden fears
to surface upon a light's shining
to reveal my hardened heart's grist

as i stand freely upon her narrows
now her beauty only begins to infuse
my want of things not of her womb
has confused my own humanity's beast
so my walk among her glories to commence

oh nature's maiden of earthly surrounds
take my hand as my struggle continues
show me your marvels in greens and browns
mystery abounds in your wondrous views
keep my eyes open and focused on truth

My calling before me, let quill be my offering;
For to be called poet, no greater gift to receive.

this is beautiful, the peace found in nature is hard to put to words, for me anyway, but you did it well
