The verses are lyrical and a delight to the tongue.
The imagery is striking and powerful.
O, that everyone would have such a wonderful place to visit to enjoy the wonders of Man and Nature and to refresh the soul and spirit!

I am blessed by my own rose garden which I visit daily with loving labor, and blessed by nearby lakes on which I paddle my canoe regularly enjoying the beauty and quiet of God's creations.

But for those shut-in or foreclosed from such pleasures, closing the eyes and letting the imagination create a private paradise is another blessing from God available to all. Poetry like this builds a bridge to such imaginings.

Elizabeth, your Bridge of Wonders is a creative wonder!
As always, your words are magical.

Such a retreat is heavenly and healing, Elizabeth. Your kinship with nature shines in your verses. Thank you for sharing this gift. Love and best wishes to you,

Such serene splendor. I wish I had a place like this still. For me it was climbing high into a tree as a child to relax and read and dream. Beautiful poem. Liz
