Looking out my window today My mind wanders to days of yesterday Where memories seem to abound Leading me to hallowed ground I see snowflakes everywhere All the way from here to there Nothing else is in sight In the peacefulness I delight I am transported to another time When I began writing words of rhyme It was nature that first inspired me To write of the wonders that I see It was she who encouraged me each day A ray of hope showing the way Telling me to write it down All these visions far from town So I wrote of the beauty I'd beheld Imagination and memories together I'd meld From the forest to the frozen lake No one could match the pictures I make Today as I look at all this snow To the north my mind begins to go Where I spent much of my childhood Inside I'm filled with a warmth so good ---------------------------------------------------- Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Jennifer, nature nurtures us, it is a cycle where nothing ever dies, it restores itself, and writing about it restores us, and nurtures us, I believe. I am probalby the most die-hard nature lover, it runs a close second to my romanticism, and I believe that in nature we have renewal. Let it renew you, even the snow, remember it's immaculate, pure and white, and even before it touches the ground each flake is imprinted, much like our own signature. Special, unique, from the ones that fall on your nose to the ones that rest on your windowpane. But remember most of all, we are more special than those snowflakes because we have souls. God bless...

I am transported to another time When I began writing words of rhyme It was nature that first inspired me To write of the wonders that I see It was she who encouraged me each day A ray of hope showing the way Telling me to write it down All these visions far from town =========== and look how far you've come ... wonderful verse of beginings and coming full circle... and so nice to see your name here again as well.  jm Some people find subtlety in strangers if you find anything~let me in Your eyes~you see everything my eyes~I see it all together now~and I know |

Lone Wolf, Excellent writing. Enjoyed the read. Poeminister There is pleasure in the pathless woods there is rapture on the lonely shore there is society where none intrudes by the deep sea, and music in its roar I love not man the less but nature more -Byron [This message has been edited by Poeminister (edited 12-17-2000).] |

'I see snowflakes everywhere All the way from here to there Nothing else is in sight In the peacefulness I delight I am transported to another time When I began writing words of rhyme It was nature that first inspired me To write of the wonders that I see' Beautiful images, LW!

I have to agree with Kathleen on this one. . . nature helps us find who we are. . . in the call of the wind, we hear our souls. . . in the sound of the water, we know our hearts. . . nautre speaks to us. . . through us. . . and through others to us. . . Just be sure that you don't miss the lesson. . . Great poem. . . ------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |
