Communion

Peaceful steps beneath the trees

More than sound or scent of breeze

Wind swoops down beneath my wings

Lifts my spirit as the foliage sings

Morning sun and thriving life

Far from restless fighting strife

Expelling fear, that borne of night

Strung afar by ceaseless might

Instilling tones within my heart

Luminous beauty set apart

Of that most sacred to embark

A journey leading from the dark

As if Gaia herself did see

A mortal man who wished to be

Something more and something free

Bestowed on me this mystery

The Archon: It is a gorgeous poem, just breathtaking. The flow, rhythm, & rhyme is perfection. The imagery of nature, from the beginning, the trees, the forest and all of natures, described so beautifully; and that beauty you describe can set us all free, such peace to be gathered and given freely by nature. Communion is a wonderful title. I am awestruck by this poem, swept away into the forest, all the metaphors you use are simply amazing. Every line is like a slice of heaven, As if Gaia herself did see, and that I believe is true. just brilliant writing. Thank you so very much. Dale

To find nature and know Gaia. We have found utopia. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
