Hi Diane, I enjoyed reading your beautifully written poem. I could just visualise the orchard and the healing effect it has on you. Nature does exactly that. The beauty of a place can indeed be a healing experience. All best, Ulla:)))

Comment from Begin Again
What a calm, pleasing poem about God and the beautiful nature he provides us with. I closed my eyes and envisioned sitting at the end of that pathway by the water... what an uplifting and beautiful spot.
Sweet fragrances emerge
One branch at a time,
And in their presence,
I sense the Divine.
Here, in God's orchard,
Just the other day,
I felt healing peace
As I made my way.
What more could anyone ask for...I am happy you have this special spot and that it touches you so. Smiles, Carol

Thank you, Carol!
So pleased my words resonated with you.
I remember my mother asking me, years ago, "Do you realize how lucky you are?"
I did realize then.
But I understand even more today...
Thank you!

Enjoy it to the fullest! I have returned to my family home since my parents and Mike have passed. It's comforting to sit and watch the river flow by and remember...Smiles, Carol

Comment from Sharon Davis
This spiritual perspective on the healing powers of Nature is well composed and offers a vivid picture of the orchard in which the author finds much solace.
The descriptive language throughout the piece embraces imagery that provides the reader with a sensory rich experience.
Nicely done.

Comment from Anne Johnston
Your poem is beautiful. Closing my eyes, I can envision your orchard, with all the trees in bloom - certainly one of the great creations of God. Great rhyming, well chosen words and a delight to read. I really like the verse:
"Here, in God's orchard,
Just the other day,
I felt healing peace
As I made my way."

How blessed you are! Is there anything more healing? I've been reading less news and sitting outside enjoying the beauty of the day and all God has made. A wonderful poem which added joy to us all. Sending you my best and six stars for this enthralling poem,

Comment from Wendy G
This is a lovely poem. All your poems about nature are so beautifully expressed and lead one to rejoice in nature and all creation along with you. There is a tone of peace and serenity, and it is easy to feel that one's soul would be restored in this quiet place of beauty. Well done.

Comment from LisaMay
aaaah.... the "restoring balm" of a good dose of nature for you, and a dose of excellent poetry from you for us to read. That area certainly does look appealing. Isn't it wonderful to enjoy where we live and find peace? 42 years for you there, and 40 for me here.
