PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

such a swollen sea of trees

all army green

and fighting nature herself

for a better position towards

her father sky

among a wild windy untamed ocean of

thickly wooded land

miles of untouched beauty

so charmingly alive

inspiring such nameless pride

in our fine young America

so gracefully grand

one continuous awe sweeping view

so easily offers the soul

through the eyes of its imperfect

cage

a lingering glimpse of

tranquility itself

on a sultry slow turning warmer and

warmer summer's day

while taking an afternoon drive in the

car

through Pisgah's Blue Ridge Parkway

baring such blessed witness quietly

to one of God's own

such a lovely view

why, its peace itself to the human eye

for one timeless moment

one recalls in hope

just what it must seem like

to get to go back home

so, for such an undeniable day and

surprisingly supreme insight

I eternally thank you my all loving

and all receiving God

in your underestimated spiritual flame

there's praise that goes beyond price

so truly will be thy

our Lord be God

the finest of Fathers by name.............
