"I loafe and invite my soul." ~ Walt Whitman
hovering within
a moment, I found
god today, on a path
in the forest, under
a lush green canopy of leaves
the light peeking
through the silence
and the sound of song birds . . . singing
beauty coming into focus
harmony into balance
it was there, next to a tree
draped in snake-like vines
wrapping around my mind
the smell of warm honeysuckles
thick in the air, it was there
standing still, that I found god.

I've run up on God/Goddess before too. Always a good thing...xx
Yeah. For sure the thing is a good one, more specifically a state it is rather. I wrote this a few months ago. It drifted into my hands today via waves of paper and clutter and decided to share it. I’m not sure that it’s very good though (the poem. not the state. the state, of course as you know, is fabulously wonderful and has no equal, at least I don’t think).
Yes, when you experience beauty, you know there has to be a God. Great as usual. Your poetry always make me feel so serene. I'm right there under that canopy of green leaves. Ahhhh.
that is the best feeling, isn't it ?
Becky: *He takes a bow.
Cathy: It is.
