The hummingbird flew towards the vivid, red Cardinal flower, Sweet was the nectar that gave its tiny wings such power. Bumblebees with prickly legs covered with yellow pollen, While Chickadees steal from an old bird's nest that has fallen. Oh blessed is the morning view from where I rest my head, Nature calls ingeniously to … Continue reading Nature’s Wake Up Call

Remember, Never Forget
Night shrouded in confusion, The jungle spewed forth, It’s rain, bugs and all beasts, Slithering forth, Amongst the sulking fog. Standing guard in the dark, Soaked in mud and fear, Diligent eyes darting perimeters, Guarding brothers, Desperate for slumber. So lonely, and how he craved, A cigarette for company, But the light was an open … Continue reading Remember, Never Forget
Love in Concert
Into the arms of my love, I do so eagerly surrender, Yearning for his devoted, Gentle and familiar touch! Holding onto one another, One singular beating heart, Unique, but now affixed, Intertwined, like the eager, Petal of a floret awaiting, To open, perfectly in concert! 520 Olympus Digital Zuiko- Photo by Joni taken at Plantation … Continue reading Love in Concert
To Sow
God planted within me a seed that shall fall on fertile ground, I pray my faith, love, and kindness fill my beating heart, When I am seen, may I be a positive presence to be around? May my love spread and be vastly strong as a steadfast root,Free from the weeds, rocks and evil that … Continue reading To Sow
As One With Nature
Among God’s trees, I sit in silence. Closing brown eyes, I wait and listen, To the soft rustle of the forest, Much like the faint sound of old cars. Birds' songs are sung, unfamiliar to me, As a lawnmower sputters in the distance. Neighborhood dogs bark in an unruly chorus, As the coarseness of dried, … Continue reading As One With Nature
My First Love
Oh how it is like, A spring that feeds the brook that flows gently, tapering below it, The soothing whisper of a breeze when your hot skin aches to be cool, The full moon when you’re alone, which lights the corridor to your secrets, The tall cattails with furry brown heads that loom over the … Continue reading My First Love
Earth Day Past
Larger, bigger, better, for we must have it all, now, don’t you see,Forget about the love surrounding the wise old grand oak tree,There will always be another, whose sad cries for us to silence,By the axes and the saws which inflict their deadly dose of violence. Dead now are the deer, beside of the old, … Continue reading Earth Day Past
Your Grateful Child
I do not hold the wisdom or genuine words to say,About how much my Christ hath loved me this day,So, to my Savior, humble thoughts to you, I do impart,Because you already know, as they live within my heart. Picture taken at Magnolia Plantation in Charleston, SC with a Olympus E-520 by Joni
The Reawakening
Awakened, I clearly hear that spring is gloriously a knocking!Gazing through the open, double pane, large windows,Arousing me to delight in the splendor she does so unveil,My eyes scan the land as I see nature’s gifts spread out,Like a table of deliciously fresh baked bread and tasty sweets,I see God’s love in the breeze and … Continue reading The Reawakening
