My passion for beauty.

Friendship

My passion for beauty.

The ancient pines begin to speak,
A quiet, rustling, wind-swept sound,
Of twisted boughs and mossy peaks,
And treasures resting on the ground.

 

I walk beneath the leafy dome,
Where every shadow holds a spark,
And feel as if I’ve wandered home
Among the whispers in the park.

 

A fallen branch, a strip of bark,
A stone smoothed down by rushing streams—
These are the embers in the dark
That kindle up my waking dreams.

 

To see the beauty in the green,
To let the forest guide my hand,
Is weaving magic, felt, unseen,
With what is wild across the land.

 

No effort brings the form to light,
The making comes as natural
As leaves unfolding to the sight,
Or shadows chasing after fall.

 

The timber turns to art and grace,
As what was wild becomes my own,
A partnership of time and place,
Between the forest and the bone.

    A lovely write of taking nature's beauty and forming it into a new beauty your own. Well written in good rhyme and meter it flows all the way to the end. Nicely done Friendship

        Is this nature day, are we all embracing autumn in all its colour and splendour.
        Though I hibernate with the bears in winter, you can't beat a fur coat.
        The leaves are falling, the nights grow dark, winter is coming in, snow on the bark.

        Wonderful, Friendship! I think we've become so accustomed to manufactured beauty that we sometimes forget how extraordinary the natural world already is. And unlike most galleries, the forest doesn't charge admission! LOL! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

        A fine Poem on Nature and the Wood.
        I love the Country-Side and find it very Therapeutic.

        This is beautiful. Beautifully expressed! Your poem captures the magic of seeing beyond the ordinary and discovering the beauty that nature quietly offers. I love the connection you draw between nature, imagination, and artistic creation.

        It's peaceful to read, like a walk in the woods. The best part is how you show that you're not forcing art, you're just letting the forest guide you. Very well written ❤️ a fave ❤️

        Hello, Friendship,

        At one with nature in all its beauty and glory. The poem itself is of a beautiful verdant moment passing and passed on with your kindness. Thank you very much.

        Fond regards, my friend,

        So between the forest and the bone let it be known that you found the place you can call home granted by the heavenly peace from above that had given everything that you love

        Oh that's nice, well felt and the feeling well expressed in nicely flowing lines, I'd even call it poetic...
