The Writer and the Wild – A Poem About Nature and Writing
—
by
The Writer and the Wild – A Poem About Nature and Writing White winged wonder wandering, wobbling west beside water. Flitting feathers flying – flocks fleeing for fields of gold. Sun shinning. Stream shimmering. Chinook salmon swimming, spawning sacks, spewing semen. Man musing merrily, mindfully mapping manuscript In a mad, maniacal manner. -Poem Written by…

Pondering At Sunrise – A Christian Poem On the Beauty of Nature
—
by
Pondering At Sunrise – A Christian Poem on the Beauty of Nature I look out into the morning sky, Waiting for the curtain of night to lift, And the same questions I’ve sought answers To for ages keep rolling through my head: Why can’t I accept grace as a gift And not as a reward…

The Weeping Willow – A Poem About Nature
—
by
The Weeping Willow – A Poem About Nature and Trees The forests and fields are fading, Replaced by cookie cutter houses and pleasure centers. Quick! Get a glimpse of the soil As it’s tilled one last time, Before it’s fruit is forever sealed beneath concrete, Whose paved arms don’t let us sink in, But stand…

The Beauty of the Divine – A Poem
—
by
Your beauty transcends my understanding. Every blade of grass is a work of art. The simplicity of snow falling on a cold, winter morning Is enough to open and convict my heart. How is it that my eyes could have been blind To a vision and a body large enough to hold the stars? Pride…

A Poem About Sunrise and Morning – Dawn
—
by
Dawn – A Poem About Sunrise and Morning The fluttering of a thousand wings flap and fill the sky – blackbirds and geese fly to unknown destinations. The cool dew of morning runs down the grasses’ backs, gathering upon the soil. A misty fog hovers beneath the trees and the sun begins peaking out over…

by
SAD – A Poem About Winter and Seasonal Affective Disorder The wind whips against the shutters.Brutal blasts of cold swirl in the breeze.Hope seems tattered and scattered,lying buried beyond the brink of spring. As I gaze out from within my frozen fortress,I square off, locked in a duel with death.Fighting against the feelings of emptinesslodged deep…

The Cardinal – A Poem
—
by
The Cardinal – A Poem Scarlet red against the snowy white, I see you at the feeder munching on sunflower seed. You do not know me. But I know you. I’ve watched you from the window-sill, perched upon the feeder, cracking seeds open with your beak in the early morning winter, ruffling your feathers to…

The River
—
by
Driven by the forces of the river. Drifting through the bends. Destined to be deposited into the vast, open sea where uncertainty begins. A longing makes its lodging deep inside, afraid of where I’m going, longing for what I’m leaving behind. I call out, “River, stop this instant. Throw me upon your banks. March me…

Dark nothingness surrounds me like a safe cocoon, like a nurturing womb that shuts out all the distractions and clutter and noise and anxieties and all my insecurities until it’s just You and me, connected…

Frost on the Field – A Poem About Nature and Changing Seasons When I woke up this morning, I found that winter stopped by for a visit late last night, spreading its dust across the grassy fields, announcing to all winter’s not far from sight. Nestled in our knitted sweaters, tucked tightly in our toasty…

—
by
The Greatest Spectacle in Town – Poem About the Beauty of Nature At Sunrise There’s beauty on the horizon, the cock’s announcing the resounding crow. The wisps of night fade away, replaced by dawn’s early glow. The treetops shake off their early shower, still covered with dew drops from leaf to branch. The birds of…

I Prefer – Poem about Loving Living in the Country
—
by
I Prefer – Poem about Country Life I prefer the pastures beyond the prairie, way back without any glimpse of home- for that’s where joy seems to find me- it’s in seclusion I feel least alone. I prefer the forest beyond the fields, where treetops shield me from the outside world, where the peaceful melodies…

Morning Moments
—
by
In the moments of morning, just before the sun wakes to greet the day, just before the birds sing the news that it’s time to rise, I think of you and delight in the beauty of your ways- How you come to us so simply, yet not without hints of mystery, humble yet remain — wild,…
