Diane,
This flowing and well rhymed poem reminds us of the healing and calming power of the beauty of nature in all seasons. Your book-ending artwork shows this. I think the first picture could be part of the Garden of Eden because it has all the parts of nature in one place.
Keep writing and stay healthy

Diane,
That I did. I am lucky to live right off a wild animal preserve so I have had deer and wild turkeys in my front yard.
You're welcome.

This is lovely. There is a peace to be found within, when you are close to the natural world. The beauty that God created for us can be a soothing balm. I understand what you mean. Thanks for sharing.

I loved this poem. It's is beautifully written and gives a very clear picture almost a painted canvas, as you walk through the the garden, the orchard and describe the wonders before you. Quite lovely. PM

Comment from Sherry Asbury
Splendid poetry...not only well-done but a message of glory and your great God praising manner. I could smell the blossoms. Cherries are my favorite fruit and I eat a ton during the season. In Montana, my mother worked at the seasonal cherry cannery and would bring home the bags of seconds they gave employees. Nice work...

Comment from Debbie Pope
This is a lovely, lovely poem, Diane. I wish that I had such a inspiring place to visit and draw spiritual healing from. I would not change a word, but I did notice that the line "Sweet fragrances emerge" has six syllables as opposed to the five of the other lines. I mostly tell you to show you how carefully I read your wonderful works.
Hope you are having a wonderful day.

Thank you for your thoughtful review and helpful gesture!
Wishing you a beautiful Sunday!
