May Holds Her Breath

May Holds Her Breath

 

May holds her breath

 for every fragrant honor.

Our God speaks of heaven

 in His glorious spring.

Every newly hatched song bird,

 blossom and tree bouquet-

Speaks to glorious position

Prism upon prism, design upon design.

Great honor of love.

Our ability is God Almighty’s

 to shine-

Just like May days of planting

 

and bird nest graces.

I always love to see God & nature woven together like best friends & that's what you've done here expertly! I love the title, which drew me in becuz our springtime has been very sporadic this year. I love the way you use familiar descriptions of springtime that are crafted in an original way! Much spring sweetness & blessings to you, my friend (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Kathy Van Kurin]

Margie,
Yes, I really like this title too. It conveys the blessing of a May day full of promise which the day was full of when I wrote this one actually a couple years back.I hope that you are doing well and also finding joy in the day to day. I can imagine that weather is very dry where you are. You know what your friendly open heart is like a spring rain with rays of sun shining and shared with others. Thank you so much for that!

One nice thing about our 10-year drought . . . don’t have to weedwhack but once a year every spring! *wink! wink!*

[Kathy Van Kurin]

Your so cute! Do whatcha can, that's what I say...I know that your area has it's own wonderful charm!

[Ted Kniffen]

I like May, Kathy, it is a time of awakening. A time God set aside for Mother Nature to renew herself and charge our souls with beauty.
Also the month I celebrate our anniversary...May 9.

A good write.

[Kathy Van Kurin]

I am sure you are looking forward to a thaw where you are. So many areas are so cold! I wish you and yours warm and glistening moments as you anticipate the warming of Springtime just around the corner. Thank you for reading my simple little story.
Blessings,
Kathy

My oldest daughter was born May 1st many years ago. Another reason for me to love spring.
It's a wonderful time of year.
It's nature renewing itself.
God is pretty smart.

[Kathy Van Kurin]

M.E.Lyle,
May is nice, with warmer days now heading towards summer. It's wonderful to have a time of year which you associate with the coming of a precious daughter. Special occasions like that make life so good. Thanks for sharing.

The intertwined beauty of heaven and earth, nature and God. Describe with such flair and grace and enthral greatness of it all.

[Kathy Van Kurin]

Dee,
Hmm...'intertwined beauty of heaven and earth, nature and God.' Oh, I like that! Looks like we are on the same page. Your above description is very fitting. Such a blessing when another person gets my feeling and motivation.

This poem is very familiar to me, as if I read it before, not including the 2nd time I read it just now because it's beautiful. But seeing that I didn't review it had I read it before, I will now. Kathy Van Kurin, wow, this is very lovely and spirit lifting, creative and inspired. Tyfs!!!

[Kathy Van Kurin]

Cyprian Van Dyke,
I have read poems occasionally myself and it seemed like they were familiar. I get what you mean. It's nice that you gave your time and opinion on my little piece here. Thanks!
Kathy

[Cyprian Van Dyke]

You're most welcome!

I like how you write about your beliefs. Kind of makes me want to be religious. Since I currently have no beliefs, I am just lost.

[Kathy Van Kurin]

Thanks Ji-Lin,
I know in whom I believe and whom died for my sins. Individual faith just as we are all different. God is so precious as He fits perfectly in each persons life-heart-soul. I appreciate your open honest portrayal of experience within your own experience.
blessings today,
Kathy

God's work is always amazing but spring is one of his finest. I think of it as the season of new life. What a wonderful expression of God's art you have here.

[Kathy Van Kurin]

Rock n Roll Cowboy,
Thanks so much. Spring is always so welcome. If we ask were you happy to see the cold dreariness of a long winter to finally release it's hold? Hardly anyone says, "Oh gee, I wish winter would go on forever. Ha ha. any way bless you and nice to read your inspiring review.

as i read this I thought - isn’ it simple refreshing to read words the exude a sense of time and place in which are positive. Too easily we can get caught up i n the negative turnings of the world. IT is only when we stop, breath and observe do we have a chance to notice not only the beauty that surrounds us - but the miracle we all inhabit. It’s 4:42am here. I am about to go to work. And this was a perfect start to my day X

[Kathy Van Kurin]

KWP,
We must keep looking for the glory. It is like the things which many times are hidden behind the every day living. I can agree with you concerning negatiivity. This is different. It is broadcast so loudly and is meant to stir up worry, fear, anger whereas glory brings a soft joy or a yelling shout of praise. Love your review.
Blessings to ya!

Your hope springs eternal as the beauty withing. Spiritual and natural with loveliness all mixed together in a bouquet of roses. Blessed be.

[Kathy Van Kurin]

Sami,
The beauty of Spring simply brims over. We cannot but be overwhelmed with it's pristine charm. I wish it for you; an overwhelming of charm and inspiration and just joy as these warm days begin to surround. Thanks for your comments and personal review.
Blessings as always,
Kathy

[Sami Khalil]

So true. You are welcome.

[MsJewel]

You have painted a beautiful word picture of May. So lovely.... :) Julie

[Kathy Van Kurin]

Julie,
I hope you are experiencing beauty that plays itself out to your heart in this Spring season. Summer is coming and lets look forward to inspiration within creation. So nice to hear from you.
Blessings,
Kathy
