Poem Artwork
Awakening Innocence

To know of hummingbird stillness.
To feel the pine needle crunch beneath winter snows.
To hear the embracing stretch of pistils weeping.
To see infinite jest in cumulus billowing.
To touch a pebble with curiosity for its origin.
To taste the purity of water from a brook.

Such is to become conscious of the rebirth of childhood.
The wisdom of Life's carefree shovel and bucket.
The wonder of life’s simplicity of love.

Childhood knows best. We need re recapture it. That why I often write of children. It reminds me of who I once was and who they still are. John

Sometimes we have to be childlike in order to understand the big picture around us. Sink our hands into the good Earth and see with an insect's eyes. What wisdom there is filling our senses with the natural world around us.

Like Jane wrote, this one strikes so true for me.

I love this one a lot!! I experienced all of the senses in nature and yearn for more. Thursday is my nature walking day. I'll make sure to take my "shovel and bucket" with me.

Love ya!

Jane
