This is a very beautiful spiritual rondeau. The image is very spiritually uplifting. There is something about being alone and resting in the Lord while thanking him for all He has done in one's life. It's also a time to be still and listen to His voice.
I really enjoyed reading your poem.
Thanks very much for sharing. I found myself taking deep breaths while looking at your image selection.

Rod,
I like the picture your words present and the way you structured the poem.
It must be nice to have this kind of talent.
The actual picture has a great relationship to the poem.
You gave me some ideas about how to make the syllable count work.
Very nice.
Dick

A beautifully honed and written Rondeau, there's been a few of these latelym I thiough I was the only one who wrote these. They take some crafting, because of their quirky differences, but nothing wrong with this one, well dine, beautifully written, with a subject dear to my heart, good luck, blessings Roy

    Hi Roy. Many thanks for sharing my rondeau. I do not write them often because, like you said, they are challenging. So pleased you enjoyed this one..

You create an image that is beautiful, alone and feeling God's presence out in nature. There are also strong feelings in your words, your vivid description of nature makes God come alive. The mention of the lake and the songbirds adds to the spiritual fell of your words.
