This is a beautiful poem, my friend. And it is true life goes on even if we can't always see it. Gorgeous picture selection. Have a good evening, Brooke~Debbie

MoonWillow's artwork is lovely, but your words paint a beautiful picture, even without the gorgeous artwork, Brooke. Flawless, as usual, and almost musical...(sigh)...

It's kind of amazing how the world and its creatures know what to do no matter how grey or foggy the day is. We had snow here last week and now the bees are back on the flowers. It's like they knew the warm weather would return.

Yep, you are absolutely right, Brooke. This a poem that encourages one's faith and I love it! It is as if you are telling me, that we can't see God, but as long as we feel love, we know He guides us. Good job! c", mae

Yes, the picture is stunning. It and your poem makes one stop and realise what a phenomenal world we live in. Your poem is exquisite and such a pleasure to read through, Brooke. Giddy

Hi Brooke

What a wonderful presentation. Your poem sends a message of hope when all appears lost.

Loved 'bank of clouds' and 'old luna's pull. Forgive for saying this but shouldn't it be lunas' pull? Or am I just thick lol


Beautiful as ever Brooke

kind regards

tracey

    Thanks so much, Tracy - Luna's is singular possessive - lunas' is plural possessive, but there is only one moon :-) Brooke

I liked the whole kit-n-caboodle but especially liked the closing stanza.
A little strange to see one without Sawyer's shining face..
Well done, Buck

    I reckon he needed the break :)

    He spent the past couple of weeks working very hard at becoming potty trained, and today he celebrated one week of NO accidents, so he deserved the time off LOL :-)

Nice...similar thoughts have been expressed concerning God's love and presence in the lives of believers...which you probably know. Your writing express it better than many others. Dennis (PS: I don't mean to suggest plagiarism in any way. As I reread this I could see how that thought might be conveyed. :)

Hi Brooke. This is really great writing again. The moon is meant to influence not just the tides on sea or ocean but people as well. We are made up of approximately 70% water I've been told. Great writing and optimistic. Best wishes, Pete :)
