Simple things that come to light
Like fireflies dancing in the night
Rheumatoid fingers of the great oak
Gnarled with time that gently poke
The mist of fog upon the land
The common grounds of God and man
Pondering on this nature trail
Words that come and never pale
Beauty in a peaceful marsh
Wrapped in arms that gently wash
City smut from lids left heavy
Feet that step with pads to levy
Wages free with no pretext
Peace and quiet...none to vex
Imaginings that come and go
Take it in and out it flows
Breaths are pure
On these moist grounds
Crickets kiss their legs for sound
Ghost of the woman and hair of moss
Draping in grays with nothing the cost
To witness this canvas of nature sublime
Before it is lost from wages of time.
Ah the 'Rheumatoid fingers of the great oak' what a fantastic discription of that great tree,
and a beautifully written poem, one could almost be there in the mists and dew of the morning, while reading it,
thank you for sharing it.

Let's hope these beautiful places survive, not just in your poetry. Unfortunately, now that we are civilized, we can only visit if we want to keep our teeth. ;-)
Simple things, contrary to the complex ones that are in some cases submitted in this site to confuse, impress and trap, are natures way to ensure those capable of understanding its signs, that beyond the restoration of (provoked) ignorant human interference, there is a beauty superceding wit and wildest dreams, nature preserves for its children. You taught me life is in the details, and so it is.
It's so easy to overlook the simple things in nature and in life and in doing so we miss all the beauty in everything. "Life is in the details" excellent, no one writes like you. Pierre.
Oooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I love, love LOVE this. The graphic; the imagery in verse; a complete, perfect package! Well done, Susan, this is one of your best! BRAVA!
Such grandeur in this eloquent beautifully written nature poem Susan! You leave us with a gem to enjoy! Have a good trip and hope the wedding day is as beautiful as your poem!
Super write and more...I love the quiet nothingness that this life brings. Nothing but nature and her finer dreams...excellent write as always Susan...BTW thanks so much

Draping in grays with nothing the cost.
To view nature in its pristine state and write a lovely poem about it, captures what God wants us to see and not lose.
we definitely should appreciate the tranqulity of nature before time (or man) has erased it from being ...
an important theme with strong feelings and deep sincerity ...
Love,
