Your picture is beautiful, Deb, with equally beautiful words for it. I like the way you formatted your few words, the few you could use. You are right how nature can, and does, inspire.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes in the contest.
Respectfully, Jan

    Thank you, Jan. That's ol' Lake Brownwood, right at sunset on the night of our family thanksgiving reunion. It was a perfect night and the pic was just right for the 8 order.
    Glad you enjoyed. :)
    Blessings!

Deb,

I am a water person, no doubt, so this poem really resonates with me. When I was younger and in the midst of a muddly issue, I would get into my car and drive over to a local bridge - it's about two miles long - just the sight of all that beautiful water would ease my soul. And don't even get me started on what the BEACH does for me. *smile*

In other words, I liked your poem very much. Thank you!

    I love the lake, beach, and ocean, too, which is weird because I'm afraid of water in a pool. Duh, right? lol,
    the pic is of our lake. I mean, not ours personally, of course, but Brownwood Lake, where we have our family reunions, allow fish to partake of our minnows and take the boat out for short tours of the shoreline. *sigh* I love it there...
    Thanks for reading, commenting and sharing! I need to get back here! I'm missing everyone!
    Blessings and happy Thanksgiving,
    Deb

Your illustration, of course, sets the stage for your brief but inspiring words. It is difficult to say meaningful things in eight words but you have managed it beautifully.

    Thanks so much! The pic is of our lake here. We celebrate family reunions, Thanksgiving, drown poor minnows thee, take the boat out... I love this place. It is a spot for me to rejuvenate and become inspired so I'm pleased that you enjoyed my short poem. :(
    Blessings and happy Thanksgiving,
    Deb

Those mottled sparkles on the water, with the wind stirring up the ripples giving a sight of the jewelled light on the water, this is beautifully written, well done Deb, well done, blessings Roy

Enjoyed your explanation of the whole inspiration process. Sometimes it's the beauty of the Lord's creation such the shimmering sunlight on the waters and sometimes, it's just His Presence that inspires us.
Best wishes in the contest!
