A gentle breeze
whispers in the cedar boughs
these patient sentinels
ever watching over
this whitewater
high-mountain river
a zephyr wafts downstream
brushes my face
tosses my hair
and dances past me
‘round the bend
a hushed gasp
escapes my lips
like a prayer

Touched by the sacred. Wonderful. I imagine that is you in your digital artwork. Great Loggins & Messina tune also. I wonder how many people have used that as a wedding song?
Thank you Lisa. The wilderness is my church. That would me about 25 years, and a head-full-of-hair ago. Would be a wonderful wedding song. 🙂
Beautiful imagery Rob. Loved it. ??
Thank you Christine… 🙂
nature IS religion! <3
Amen my friend… 🙂
You have the ability to capture the beauty of nature in your own special way. I am always listening to the whispers of nature, like a prayer waiting to be sung.
Thanks for the music selections – enjoyed them this evening
Thank you True, and you’re welcome my friend… 🙂
I agree with Ren nature is religion, and you have captured that in your poem, Rob. We are lucky to live in such different landscapes and find the beauty of it all, you with your cedar forest, white waters and mountains, and me with my flat fields, oak trees and slow life on the Norfolk Broads. Either way, hushed gasps and prayers abound.
Your part of the world sounds enticing Kim… 🙂
that something moving past, moving round the bend is what leads us on – “may the road rise up to meet you” Rob
Thank you Laura — and may the wind be always at your back. 🙂
Like a prayer indeed….always really enjoy your poetry from the woods, Rob
