Cloud formations, float on breeze
daily stress melts away with ease
A gift of art, made from His hand
canvas of life spreads o're the land.

Scents and colours of pure delight
greet us at dawn and share moonlight
Blissful offerings for us all
winter, spring, summer and the fall.

Wafts of lilac drift in the air
golden rays shining everywhere!
Blue and green hues meld into one
touched with warmth given by the sun.

Willows weep tears of happiness
brushing ground with emerald tress
Mighty oak stands the test of time
whilst maple paints her leaves sublime.

Picture perfect, heavenly delight
one with nature, all is right
Blessed are we with simple pleasures
grateful for His loving treasures.

Ladies, it was a delight watching the two of you braid words as if they were spring dandelions in one's hair. I do hope you will do this again, and soon!

I agree, this one needs an encore performance.

You both wrote very well and wonderfully.

Donna, I think you are setting a record for
the most duets in one day....WOW!

Nightshade and Gentle Spirit,
  What a nice blend!  Had I not seen the title, I wouldn't have known this was written by two people.  The first verse was lovely.

"Cloud formations, float on breeze
daily stress melts away with ease
A gift of art, made from His hand
canvas of life spreads o're the land."

Every verse after, just as lovely.  A keeper for a cloudy day!

Wow...
