Tribute to the Springs


just beyond Jen’s vineyard

a prayerful dwelling chants

to rhythm of the bullfrog

a watery pool romance



the natural dam in alcove

the fishes resting stratum

reeds, willows, vine and flora

reflect o’er shimmering bottom


within this brace of nature

solitude brings imagination

time and again this calls me

to enjoin quiet divination


for there is found that mindful rest

where spirit can easily soar

to heights left unanticipated

the mind brings so much more


seek this place, a pilgrimage

could be near your heart

just behind the vineyard

the perfect place to start

I received the photos from a friend (*** see credit) and could not resist an attempt at capturing magical nature with a bit of a poem.

Thanks for your comment at Small Reflections on my T-13 Springtime Butterflies post and the link back here. These are lovely photos and you’re a poem simply wonderful accompaniment. I appreciate you sharing in this way and look forward to future visits once my ‘computer issues’ are resolved.
Hugs and blessings,
