I couldn't take a walk today
For a dam broke in the sky
And flooded all creation
With rain-storms rushing by.
So I went to roam instead
Through meadows in the mind
And found forgotten flowers
On hillsides I once climbed.
Within there is a universe
As boundless as the one we see
Divine Mind, in us, infinite
Where, rain or fair, we wander free.
This is so beautiful. I want to copy it and include this poem in a letter I am getting ready to send my mother. She does not get out and she has a walker to get around in her apartment. I think she would relate to the Divine Mind in us. Your poem reminds us to rejoice in beauty all around us including inside our minds.
ReplyDeleteMargie, this is beautiful. you are very talented you know. take care, beautiful photo to match.Take care
ReplyDeleteMargie, isn't it comforting to know that when storms brew we can always go into the calm of our soul to enjoy the eternal beauties we have all seen at one time in our lives......Love this poem my friend, you touch my heart.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Tuesday....:-) Hugs
Hello Margie,

Dear Margie,
ReplyDeleteTo you so fair of heart
From within a beauty to start
A morning walk you do share
And known is God's loving care
Words to greet this morning sweet
And here our hearts this moment meet.
Thank you for a delightfully inspired "Morning Walk."

Such a good and powerful thing to know - that we can create our own fields to travel in, even when others are not available to us. A poem of hope.
ReplyDeleteHi TechoBabe
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words and I am flattered that you want to send a copy of my poem to your mother...that is perfectly fine with me & I really hope she enjoys it!
Sometimes all we have is the Divine Mind to show us many beauties when we cannot get out to enjoy all the glories of nature!
Margie:)
Thank you, Cinner for your thoughtful & kind comment...it is appreciated!
