As daylight wanes


As daylight wanes
over the secluded forest
and darkness slowly begins
to settle in for the night,
I walk along serenity's path.

The trees whisper quietly
in the twilight breeze,
rustling softly around me,
calming my gentle spirit
as the breeze caresses me.

I stop for a moment
and close my eyes,
holding out my arms
as if I were flying,
allowing myself to feel nature's presence.

I feel the heart
of the forest within me,
I feel the spirit of the trees,
I feel the sorrow and the joy
of nature's nurturing soul.

I hear the birds
singing a melodious tune,
they sing of life and all the struggles,
they sing of faith and inner strength,
they sing of love and purest joy.

I feel the trembles
of Mother Earth,
I feel her fear and hear
her worries, I hear her cries
within my own heart.

But also, I feel her smile
amidst the breeze,
I hear her laughter through the trees,
I give her my strength,
I give her me.

I open my eyes and look around,
discovering a smile upon my face
and warmth within my heart,
I feel renewed and quite blessed,
touched by nature's beautiful grace.

I continue my walk
along serenity's path,
feeling the presence of nature within me,
my heart smiles; my spirit's free,
as daylight wanes over me.

J-girl, your heart and words are beautiful to me. I can't tell you how very much this made me smile ... even through happy tears! When you write with such a strong heart it makes my heart literally leap for joy. Do you know that I see you like this always? Someday, I will tell you about the image I have of you in my heart. I can't say why, but from the first time I read you, you grabbed my heart in a very special way and I'm so glad to have such a sweet little sister-friend as you. Today, with this amazing write, I felt the need to tell you how special you are to me, even when I am not here and not as vocal in my support as I should be. Forgive me for that, and know that you are ever in my thoughts. Much love. *hug*

Sweet one,

Your poem put me in the woods there with you.
Just love the voice in your words. It whispers
into my day like a soft summer breeze.

hugs,

(((~Janel~)))

Three words come to mind when I read this with a smile: Quiet Calming Strength

I like these reflections, especially in you!

Hello Janel

Ahh, I am just floating along on the serenity you have painted here, on nature's breath, in her encompassing enormity, and it has warmed my soul.

Wonderful.

Max

Hello to all!


We have moved the motel to a much better
location.

We now have the ability to edit our posts,
have our own sign in passwords, as well as
personal messages, and many other advantages
the voy systems didn't offer us.

Please feel free to continue to comment on poetry
that is already here.

If you want to post a new poem this is the link
for the New And Improved Muse Mongers Motel.

http://musemongersmotel.yuku.com/

We will be working around the clock to get
the site moving so that the transition is a smooth one.

I borrowed Janel's thread here to make this announcement
because she lets me get away with almost anything. LOL

We will be leaving the Voy site open for some time to allow others to find their way to the New Motel.

Please do not post any new material in any rooms here.
We have already provided sister rooms in the New Motel
and would love to fill it up as quickly as possible.

WE thank you all for your continued support.

Andy and Sasha
