Have you ever stopped to hear the sounds Rising sweetly from the ground Have you ever looked beyond your feet Inhaling music soft and sweet
Have you ever stopped to realize That we can see....beyond the eye For seasons breathe as layered gifts Exhaled upon the breeze to drift
Have you ever touched, and really felt A petal, or the snowflakes melt Have you ever seen that rainbow thread Embroidered on the heaven's spread
Have you ever stopped to wonder why We walk this earth, and breathe this sky Why the gift of harvest, fills our needs Why we drink from lake, but not from sea
Have you ever stopped, to realize It's there for us as equal prize Sight is varied by each soul Vision comes....by half and whole
Have you ever stopped, and realized There's SO much more than meets the eye Eventually I think you'll see What you once.... Passed On by
Anita, you bring a new light into our vision with this beauty. Making sure we don't "pass on by" what's there for us to see if we only take our eyes off ourselves. Very creative pic to match poem;-)
All the time Anita, we see what we want to see and create our own reality...oop's got all poetic then lol. This is a little beauty that flows like a river of liquid diamonds.
Oh! your cheque's in the post by the way lol.

I'm very glad that I didn't pass by this poem, without reading it, and enjoying it very much - and what a graphic!

My senses are just tingling from reading this...wonderful visual pictures in my head,.... gives much for me to contemplate. What a great, inspirational write. Panda :)
Sets the mind racing. Smells as well as sights trigger memories. I love the smell of burning grass fields. It takes me back to my childhood when we used to set fire to the farmer's field after he'd cleared away all the bales of hay leaving the stubble. As we walk through life we tend to feed the physical and emotional senses, but neglect the spiritual wherein dwells higher sensitivity for all the hidden beauty that surrounds us. Gorgeous illustration, complements the inspiring piece.
Visually effective and touching write that all poets can so strive to compare to when it comes to works of nature and God's beauty here on earth. This is so publishable just as it is, it lacks nothing and as Joselyn suggested a classical beauty. Well done Anita.

Being a Son of the Soil, I admire your affinity for plants, trees and shrubs, and the Fourth Dimension...
And I love the Amaryllis and Belladona Lily graphic..
This book consists of a 150 pages of Christian poetry about the end of time and the Second coming of Jesus Christ not as a servant but as a King, the King of kings. To bring righteousness and peace to the earth and restore the government of God! Peac
