Written for Only Murders In My Mind
Weekly Writing Prompt #74 and the
photo prompt shown below.
Here’s where the image took me.
A quiet man, in reverent awe
Stood still, with thoughtful eyes.
Before him, grand, a vessel tall
Where tiny nature lies.
Green leaves and ferns, a mossy floor,
A garden, gently grown.
Small branches reached forevermore,
A world within its own.
Then through the glass, a subdued beam
From windows, old and high.
It touched the plants, a living dream,
Beneath a painted sky.
Muted shades, gently glowed,
A hymn played, soft and deep.
A man transformed, his spirit showed
A wonder he would keep.

Really nice, Nancy – great too to read a poem with lines that rhyme, they are quite rare on WP these days!

I suppose that’s true; I hadn’t really thought about it. Whatever comes to me gets written and I hope people enjoy it. Thanks very much, dear Keith.
