Close to You

 

 

Give me eyes to see beyond the trees

adorned in beauty pied,

and ears to hear the falling leaves

as they quietly subside.

 

Upon a breeze please let me climb

and journey without care,

across the lake reflecting Light

and humble me in prayer.

 

The beauty that Your fingers paint

take my breath away,

what lies ahead I do not know,

but close to You I'll stay.

    How beautiful!

    This is perfection! What a wonderful praise-full poem. Lovely content, flow and rhyme. This is as smooth as butter. Congrats on the trophy. This is worthy of more than a Bronze in my eyes.

    Hi Sam, Love your poem. The words are just beautiful, but I would expect nothing different from you. I would love to give comment on your choice of picture here. The colors of autumn, both vivid and reflected bring forth perfect beauty. Like a very special rainbow of color that enhances the peacefulness and serenity of the swans that swim toward each other as we will one day with the Lord. Glad to see you back writing poetry again. You just keep getting better and better. Good luck in the contest.
    In Gods Love,
    Joan
