Woods show your beauty

A favorite place of mine where I find peace and solitude and sense of strength within a natural wooded beauty.

                               

The woods shared her beauty today.

 Each variant tree festooned in leafy garb.

The woods shared her grace today, 

native creatures buzzing all round. 

In strength the grove stands,

attending to language only its own.  

Is there a clue of what life should be

 for you, for me?

Amidst tempest,

this  grove refuses to flee its station

but  yields 

giving itself in the power of each gust. 

Can we learn

 to bend amidst life storms,

 open to lessons within our days?

Enclosing peaceful  solitude

Is the presence of  my Lord. 

 at life's end 

Heaven will be my perfect reward.

Does this bring a feeling peace? I hope so, as the experience of this place surly does for me.

Oh my. You remember something like growing up in a village. That is so very intriguing-interesting to me. A person just never knows the context a reader will read from. Your review is wonderful for that very reason. I hope that you gain experiences and valuable memories in your current life and vocation. To remember good from our past is surly a great blessing. Thanks for reading such a wonderful review.
Blessings to you.

Kathy, this is a good poem. You write very well. The woods are always a great place to be, especially when the trees are talking to the wind. There is a little thing with the line 'but  yields giving itself in the power of each gust.' Something seems a bit off here. Perhaps 'but  yields itself to the power of each gust.' I like it. Good write.

Your descriptions echos the stability of the woodland, when it is allowed to flourish in its natural state.
And yes , it can communicate this feeling of peace and tranquillity to we volatile humans.

[Kathy Van Kurin]

Thanks Norman23
This place for me is a real stability factor within my own life...............Like you say volatile; this is really at times a difficult life. Your input is mature and it means a lot to me. Thanks again.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

again you talk of sharing...of withstanding life's low
points and being strong...the trees, the woodland creatures...if only we could mirror them more than we do...

i found the third line a little awkward...like a word missing "attending to language of their own"?

you do put much feeling into your writing...and your writing reflects strong hope for peace, community and sharing.

[Kathy Van Kurin]

"Woods" was a messy one for me. Had to cut from the original. Third line is needing something but I struggled? Your input is timely! I will fix it thanks ever so much. Yes being alone and in my natural place is where I find relief Blessings to you and I will be getting to more of your work as well. Have fun! Do you have a place of peace and/or solitude?

[Maria12]

Yes it does give a peaceful feeling.I was reading that trees have feelings and can communicate.I certainly like being near them and hate it that so many of my neighbours don't l like trees.Your poem appeals to me in its gentleness
