-- Soul of the World -- John Herlihy The pond lies before us, Inviting us there to wade. The tree stands before us, Inviting us into its shade. The ladybug stands before us Inviting us to look it in the eye The bluebird stands before us Inviting us into the blue sky The clouds pass by overhead Inviting us to into their shadow Night shadows fill us with dread As they creep into the meadow The stars shine overhead, Inviting us its world to imagine. The moon shines overhead, Inviting us its wonder to fathom. The flower opens its lovely face, Inviting the bee into its gaze. Winter frost wraps the trees in lace, Ethereal now in winter haze. The forest stands before us, Inviting us into its mystery. The tree rings circle before us, Inviting us into its history. All of nature stands before us, Its beauties to behold. The soul of the world before us, As its beauties of truth unfold. - - - - - - (c) John Herlihy 8 September 2019

"Winter frost wraps the trees in lace,".........oh, how I love the sight! The verse,"The forest stands before us,

Inviting us into its mystery.

The tree rings circle before us,

Inviting us into its history."

Reminds me of stories my mother (from Finland, here at 26) would tell me about the "holy groves".....yes, lots of history and you seem to know it well.

I enjoyed every single word, John!

Love ya!

There are few subjects that can weather another fresh impression or original interpretation like Nature. You have penned the collective synergy of Nature's many expressions and given us (such heathens we are at times) the opportunity to reflect and appreciate our residency among your soul of the world. Thanks for posting, John.

It's true. The soul of the world stands before us, ALWAYS so beautiful, but humans are so ignorance of its beauty when they are too busy fighting among themselves.
