Promise, Mother
Streaming Her lifeforce
I stood atop rocky banks
with a breeze to coax me in
wildflower smiles blush burgundy
yellows crave sympathy
and deer snort
unexpectedly surprised
Rocks hug the overflow
creating staircase falls
nestled in hills cradle
arteries spill into creeks
as leaves orange and green
canoe times passage
through natures by-way
Box turtles bask lazily
soaking golden
in outstretched plea
whispering archaic phrases
as hints to the everlast
could hold true
despite fast rushing waters

Beautiful depiction of nature and its cycle. The imagery is brilliant. Enjoyed the read, Soul. The countryside walk is always an enjoyable treat.

To sit back on a rock, or log and admire nature at her finest, beautiful soul.

Thank You Dear Rain:)))
:D the picture is a close up (too close up) of water spilling (in a creek) over a rock with a couple leaves about to tumble over....hey now...be thankful there isn't a shadowy thumb in that pic :D

Such great lines,Soul, this poem is exactly how it can be here where I live, the wild running stream outside whispering at night and silence in the air. The sound of the running water is so utterly soothing!
(its quite some sounds through week days though)
