Stumbled Upon A Beautiful Picture

Missing image

To stumble upon a beautiful picture,
my heart is awakened with a whisper.
Natures beauty is a pleasant sight,
my countenance collapses without a fight.

As I transcend myself into this picture
my heart and soul melds into nature.
Feeling the seasons crispy cool breeze
streaming through the gentle trees.

Reflections upon the pond are seen
with romantic thoughts one does glean.
Richness of beauty in natural terrain
nothing about God is plain.

Fall leaves brilliance of bronze and gold,
nothing in this picture could ever be sold.
Waters edge upon the land
this is what God had planned.

Honored am I having been able to see,
transcending into this picture I am free.
My heart awakened with a gentle whisper,
stumbling upon such a beautiful picture.

    A great way to explain the joys of the nature around us. A lot of people don't understand how important that is still now days... Wonderful poem basically and well deserving of the gold it got.

    Beautiful Poem!

    This was truly lovely--a tribute to the beauty of nature. Favorite stanza:
    Reflections upon the pond is seen
    with romantic thoughts one does glean
    Richness of beauty in natural terrain
    nothing about God is plain
    Just one note: Reflections upon the pond is (should be "are") seen
    I hesitate to give grammar corrections b/c some people don't want them, but perhaps you do.
    Again, a very beautiful poem. Good luck in the contest.

    The imagery in this is lovely, Sis. Your words even without the accompanying picture would have painted as beautiful a vision. This is the kind of place that brings peace and comfort to the weariest of souls and joy to the heart.

    A superb piece and I wish you luck in the contest
