come and whisper in my ear
what I need to hear
spoken from a sincere heart
to the spirit of the lake
gently stepping over mossy rocks
to a depth of water that one can then glide into
taking in the visible beauty of the world around
floating
there is the glory of the sky for ceiling
held in the arms of a lively forest
mushrooms and flowers as companions
heart enlivened
to sense more deeply
into the nature of the moment
heart enlivened
to sense more deeply
into the nature of the moment
looking with more than eyes
into the invisible
of what is visible
a grand elixir
view becomes vast like an ocean
the world transforms
into a sensuous amalgamated entity
no longer the same woman
the world is my lover and I feel like a bride

Love it ^^ "The world is my lover and I feel like a bride" such lovely poetry!
ReplyDeleteThis is so wonderfully life-affirming from beginning to excellent end.
ReplyDeleteThese images, these words--a concoction to soothe the soul. The vastness of that lake, the quietude of the forest, the delicious sensuality of the flora, captured by your sensitive lens. And by lens I refer to the one that resides in your eye and in your spirit.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful and uplifting...both the words and the stunning photographs!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pictures and the poetry is lovely :)
ReplyDeleteOh my Tammie...so beautiful. These photos and your words bring me such peace today.

ReplyDeleteOh Tammie, have I just seen and read right? This is so beautiful and you are a perfect bride!
ReplyDeleteThank you all for taking this poem into your heart.
ReplyDeleteCiel,
Yes, this was an actual experience I had a week ago in this very lake. I will never be the same.
The transformation of a moment can be sublime.

I forgot to ask, what do you do? Go back to sleep or let the inspiration take you? Usually, I go back to sleep (finally) and spend the following day trying to remember that magical moment.

ReplyDeleteSuch lovely picture and sentiments.
ReplyDeleteYour lake picture reminds me of a natural phenomemon in Indonesia. there is a lake with a range of mountains surrounding it and on a certain day/week each year the light allows the lake to mirror image the hills and show a mother holding a child. Very beautiful..
Tammie: Those were neat photos of the wildflowers. I think they are really special.
ReplyDeleteTammie: You ((are)) a spirithelper!
ReplyDeleteI am deeply moved in viewing this beautiful post! The words the images..touch my heart at a deep level.

I am simply delighted with this series of photos. The first photo I would like to have on my wall. And, what a wonderful landscape on the second! Great DOF on it! That still water and rushing white clouds with those mountains ranges in the distance look just fantastic. All the photos are just stunning as well as the words that go with them!
ReplyDeletewhat a dainty violet bell flowers, so cute. i love all your flower posts.
ReplyDeleteDear Tammie,
ReplyDeleteThis is a very beautiful post....
I also have been transformed by nature.
The earth is my lover...I love being one with the flora and fauna. I often will let the rain rince my hair and the wind dry it....I have showered in a waterfall...A fantastic experience.
Thank you for this lovely poem and photographs. Stunning.
I shall go read again and soak up some more joy.
Namaste,
Sherry
