Oh, how strongly I can relate to the feelings you've expressed in this beautiful poem! I loved how you ended each detailed observation with a specific kind of prayer... hopeful, grateful, joyful, etc. and finally a healing prayer. How much we need that! A beautiful and inspiring piece Diane. I'm so glad I made it to FanStory today. ;") MM

Oh, Adonna!
How happy I am that you "made it to FanStory today" as well! :)
This offering began as a Kyrielle, and then it took on a life of its own as I realized that each of the moments I describe are often accompanied by a prayer...
Thank you for your exceptional rating and complimentary review.
I just shared with Dorothy Farrell how I wish everyone had a "Miller's Pond" in their lives.
So pleased my offering resonated with you!
Thank you!

Comment from Pam (respa)
-Very nice images, diane.
-A deer and her fawn are so precious.
-Your notes are appreciated, too.
-A well written poem with
good nature imagery as you
create this word picture of
Miller's Pond and its inhabitants.
-It does sound like a very peaceful
place, and one that allows you
to reflect and get away from every day life.

Comment from robyn corum
Diane,
It's remarkable how I have been able to find so much solace in nature throughout this whole chaotic pandemic. It seems that perhaps nature has offered its blessings for you, as well. But how could it not!?
You do know about us collecting posts for the 2020 Covid Retrospective, right? I'm hoping to publish a book on how writers dealt with the craziness - seeking pieces from March of 2020 to now. I'd love for you to search your portfolio for anything - or anything more if you've already offered things. Thanks!

Bouquets of Hope
It Doesn't Seem Like Christmas

In Renewal's Cathedral
To Mend this Broken Land
those are the ones I have right now.

Diane, This is a very beautiful and well written poem you have penned about this wonderful place that was kind of like a refuge for you in the time of covid. You used great descriptive and heartfelt words and beautiful imagery. I am so glad you had a place to enjoy at that time. love and blessings, Teri

With Each Path, A Healing Prayer
by Mrs. KT
Hello, Diane,
I understand how you feel. I pray every night to thank God for keeping my family and me safe and healthy. We all work at home and most of my family are vaccinated. I get mine tomorrow.
I like the presentation and word imagery...you paint a beautiful picture. Nice structure and rhyme.
Well done!

Comment from Iza Deleanu
Nature is such a big healer, and pandemic or not we need to be closer to it:"
In time, I shall return again.
God's treasured gifts, I yearn to share,
For in truth, they can mend life's pain;
With each path, a healing prayer." Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings.

If my mind is clouded, the best thing I can do is take a walk. Buttercups and Robins tell me it's almost spring. What a wonderfully written poem. Best of luck with your writing!
Have a great day, and God bless.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful walk with us and showing us that these walks are times of prayer and meditation and restoration. Love your presentation and your sweet refrain of different kinds of prayer as you walk.

Absolutely beautifully written and thank you for sharing with us. This poem shows in great detail the wonders of the world no matter what small part of the world it shows. I really enjoyed your colourful, delightful words. Marie

Comment from DonandVicki
Your Millers pond reminds me a lot of "Walden's pond" where he was able to retreat and meditate. We all should be so lucky as to have a place to find peace.

Hello DonandVicki!
I wish everyone had a "Miller's Pond" or "Walden Pond" to retreat to and revitalize. It's been a salvation during this year of uncertainty and challenges.
Thank you!
