Excellent

You have painted with words, the scene of tranquility (balanced internally with the external) endemic to the nature of meditation :-)

Nicely done :-)

This peaceful poetic reflection instills calm and quiet in the heart and soul through the senses -appropriate verbs 'saturate', and most importantly 'listening'.

Love it, Teresa!

Listening
to the breeze
as it blows
secrets
from tree to tree ... I could actually feel my breathing deepen and slow down as I read.

You and I find joy in similar places and spaces, don't we?

Hope you've had a wonderful day, dear.

Love,

xxx

Hi Teresa,

This is my favorite stanza:
Listening
to the breeze
as it blows
secrets
from tree to tree
From a metaphysical POV, all plants have emotions. I'm picturing a forest of trees happily gossiping.

Hugs,
Lou

Simple and true, although I'm not sure how one absorbs beauty through closed eyes! Love the following:

Listening
to the breeze
as it blows
secrets
from tree to tree

A very well written spiritual free verse. I didn't know you did those too. It has several elements of free verse and works towards peace.
