Playful Mind

by Elisabeth Barstowe — Read all 441 poems by Elisabeth Barstowe

Thursday, October 14, 2021

On branches of green splendor

thick droplets of water rest.

Misty morning rain pours

and 

the world is wholeheartedly

bathed, caressed in lifegiving water.

How sweet it is to live in harmony

with mother nature,

to dance 

swirling round and round,

from your long locks of hair

droplets

of lifegiving water spread.

 

To pay homage to life

is to bring light to the world.

All of its colors,

all of its richness,

all of its glory.

 

If you see the days, the nights, the seasons

with awe, with a curious mind.

You will

find that you are in fact

floating instead of swimming,

flying instead of sinking,

rising instead of falling.

You will

find that happiness is only

a flower away.

Enchanting words that express the
special beauty that only Nature can provide…

It reminds me a lovely Misty, rainy morning i once spent in
Innsbruck Austria…

Best wishes,
Diana…🌿

In a world wrought with torture and torment,
this is such an inspirational change of pace.
And to think we are only one flower away...

Wonderfully uplifting. It's raining life-giving water today and I just went out and felt a few sprinkles on my shoulders. And a refreshing wind in my face. It's dark and dreary looking, but the sun will come out very soon and the effects of the refreshing water will show like your poem reflects every drop.

As it is raining a soft autumn rain here this poem is a nice reminder that we need the rain as much as we need the sunshine. The leaves are slick and glossy highlighting the rich colours of fall. Thank you for sharing your words and your senses in this wonderful poem.

A lovely tribute to nature and all that it offers, especially glorious and blessed rain. A fine tempo and grace to the poem.
