Poetry

.

Nourished in Peace

.

The meadow nourished in softest

Sedges scattered amid violet milk weeds

.
Incredible flowered attractions

Hosting dainty butterflies, moths and bees

.
Each patrol finding warm sunny skie-s

Perfumed bliss softly summoning in

.
These many tiny witnesses for life

And too, sentinels diligently shield

.
Safe-guarding a precious new beginning

The fawn a tawny velvet-coated gift

.
Sheltered by loving aunts, sisters and

Mum over near the cedars, sedge and sun

.
She watches me in curiosity

Now a gawky yet cute adolescent

.
Quietly nibbling crabapples not far from

My sacred space on this prayer-filled morn
