land holds tales of grace and gold
tales we wish that we'd be told
yet when we listen
with our eyes
and toes
the silent mysteries rise and fold
their wings of past
and present
around our soul
and we now know that we are
part of the tales
the land does
hold
tales we wish that we'd be told
yet when we listen
with our eyes
and toes
the silent mysteries rise and fold
their wings of past
and present
around our soul
and we now know that we are
part of the tales
the land does
hold

I like the photos of the aspens dreaming of spring. And the poem is lovely. I want to learn the land's mystery and become part of its tale.
ReplyDeleteTammie, what great beauty you capture! The first shot has a startling resemblance to India's textiles printed from nature . . . I was truly struck by the similarity. One of her works is featured on my blog, though not the most similar.
ReplyDeleteWhat would our earthly journey be worth if we just counted dollar bills and went through life blind to the sheer beauty of this world?
Many Happy Returns for your wonderful son's Birthday and a year full of as many joys as it can hold.
Hugs . . .Arija

ReplyDeleteThe first photo is an abstract painting. The second is pure magic.
ReplyDeleteYour poem is so beautiful ...
Happy birthday to your son!
odd looking place, think it waits for greenary to begin.
ReplyDeleteThe first photo initially reminded me of a Bev Doolittle painting. I love that bit of tempting gold showing in the background. I also like the tiny stream flowing through the second shot. A lovely birthday poem for Jesper, too. My very best wishes for a wonderful year ahead.
ReplyDeleteTammie,

Such intriguing colours. The shape of the trunks remind me of weaving and your words - how we are woven together with the land. You never cease to touch me, Tammie!
ReplyDeleteHappiest birthday to your son!
Oh yes, dock leaves do take the sting out of nettle stings. and it actually works! Most times you will find a dock plant growing near stinging nettles.
These trees reminded me of the trees in the wizard of oz for some reason. I love the little creek that runs through them!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your son. Lovely photos.

ReplyDeleteStriking images and words, Tammie. Wishing your son all the best on his birthday. xx

ReplyDeleteI like the top picture best - the orange of the grass in the background - makes it very interesting and gives contrast t the grey of the trees.
