PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

a ditch lined with holly

I happened upon today

its sight so incongruent yet jolly

revived my memory's sense of dramatic play

such beauty

as if..........

engaging hope in its prime

springing from

little more than a muddy puddle

flowing

tangible proof

almost

that

God's grace

among even grayish shallow waters flowing

displaying itself in such unique eye catching ways

a smile

for more than a mile forth

with me

I all too gladly carried

a gift from God just for me

I think yes

recollecting

remembering

pondering

and old adage I only once heard

one should never simply look upon nature

but truly try to see it

as such endeavor

in spiritual pounds

pays and pays..........
