Once Upon A Misty Morning
Once upon a misty morning,
In a place where songbirds sing—
Where dew drops cling to spiderwebs
Like pearls on silver string.
Where butterflies dance daintily
And vibrant wildflowers bloom;
White-tail deer prance gracefully,
Inside of mother nature’s womb.
In this land of no tomorrow,
Where all your worries melt away;
Sorrows drift away with winds
By which branches ebb and sway.
I close my eyes, and breathe the air;
Joyful tears stream down my face,
As I’m overtaken once again—
By the beauty of this sacred place.
In a place where songbirds sing—
Where dew drops cling to spiderwebs
Like pearls on silver string.
Where butterflies dance daintily
And vibrant wildflowers bloom;
White-tail deer prance gracefully,
Inside of mother nature’s womb.
In this land of no tomorrow,
Where all your worries melt away;
Sorrows drift away with winds
By which branches ebb and sway.
I close my eyes, and breathe the air;
Joyful tears stream down my face,
As I’m overtaken once again—
By the beauty of this sacred place.

Thank you so much, Nikki :)
I have a whole folder of beautiful photos from that day, but this was my favorite. Eventually I may upload them all to a Google Drive folder and share it here. I wish it had displayed a bit bigger, as it looks much nicer than it appears here, but I'm not sure if there's a way to fix that.
Anyway, I really appreciate your kind words... thanks for stopping by again! <3

Summer, I was actually looking at pictures that I took that morning and was inspired to write the first stanza of this poem. Today, when I woke up, I decided... "I need to finish that poem!" and put myself back in that special place on that very special day :)
I'm so glad that you liked it... and that I could make you smile. Sometimes I am overwhelmed by the sheer beauty of nature...! This was one of those moments!

Nature can bring a surge of feeling inside us when we are overwhelmed by its beauty. I feel that way sometimes.

Re. Once Upon A Misty Morning
Dear NB,
We’re sharing the same brain today. I just commented on another poets write using “misty morning memories” as a part of how I thought and lo’ I turn the page and there you are with this delicious piece of Misty Morning! At any rate, this is a show stopper. I will get to the picture in a second but your poem is divine. Prayer-like, heavenly, utterly peaceful land of beauty. I couldn’t help but exhale and feel myself relax. That is not an easy thing for me to do. Beautifully written! Your photo is stunning. So you’re a fabulous photographer as well as fabulous poet. The picture compliments the piece and looks like a delicate piece of exquisite jewelry crafted by nature. A lovely way to begin the day. Gorgeous write. H🌷

Dearest H,
I actually was prompted to search "misty morning" in the poems section this morning in search of other poems like my own. I found several! Great minds think alike, heh. Nowadays, it seems no idea is ever truly original... with 8 billion people on the planet, it seems someone, somewhere, has always thought it before :P
Thank you for that fantastic, heartfelt comment... you warm my heart so much with your words. You are a great blessing to me, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart... I'm just showcasing the beauty which is already there. Call me a vessel :)

Beautiful. Sounds like one of those "thin places".... I think the world would be happier if we all had a place like this to visit regularly. Thanks for painting it so beautifully for us.

Re. Once Upon A Misty Morning
My Friend...
This is a scribe of pure serenity! The gentle cadence--each line flowing smoothly into the next...each stanza joining effortlessly with the one following--as well as your striking, vivid imagery, makes this one a pleasure for the senses, and soothing balm for the soul!
Your poem has my imagination wandering...and longing for the reality of just such place!!! (Wistful Sighs and SMILES...with this piece!)
A truly breath-catching photo, as well!!!

How lucky the spider
weaves such
magical serenity
where beauty can be captured
in sweet orbs
that brings to life a moment
captured in poetic wonderment ... beautiful spill
