Oh very beautiful. I do like the idea of untethering from thoughts, and allowing that perfect peace from God to settle our soul, and find respite from life's cares, while enjoying and being grateful for God's gift of restoration through nature. Fine writing, very nice.
Wendy

This is a very beautiful and well written poem you have penned for the Faith Poetry contest. You used great descriptive words that let us know that God is always near to us in the nature we see every day. You used very nice imagery from the picture you took. Best wishes in the contest. Teri

This spiritual poem, Hush Hush, presented with four ABAB-rhymed quatrains, asks the readers to stop and take it all in. We are passing through just as the seasons. Good stuff.

This was brilliant. I loved "untethering from thoughts" and the final quatrain:
"As the seasons give birth to change
make space in times such as these
to pass over the finite things and exchange
wants into needs ... and thank God for trees."
This shows a spiritual wisdom of trusting God and learning from spending time with trees. Hope this does well in the contest!

I do love trees. Each one is a work of art. They bend, grow towards the heavens. I love to look at the different barks. God has truly given us a beautiful thing. Gorgeous and evocative. Thos wad a beautiful poem. Gretchen
