Garden of Verse

I gaze intently above at aegean skies
as though attempting to lure with smile
Come breathe in lushness of merigold
Play along jovial whispers of the wind ―
Believe nature mends all that’s broken
Those whose gentle soul’s dismayed ―
Beneath footsteps often hope does tread

    “Nature mends all that’s broken”…that she does, and she will mend what we have done to the earth as well. Hopefully we can learn better ways.

    Even though one may face disappointments there is bound to be hope. One must tread gently so as expect hope to take a peek to address the issues.

    Those “aegean skies” have charmed your poet writer. Each line was great, my favorite was the belief that “nature mends all that’s broken.” Very simple yet some really do, hence all the natural remedies.

  7. ‘Beneath footsteps oft hope does tread’ – true, hope can make a heavy footstep lighter.

    Breath, play, believe. I think you channeled a bit of J. M. Barrie 🙂 Lovely – and I adore the word “marigold”

  9. Things are so much better, when we remember that hope is always there… We just need to dig for it.

    Tread happily into your new year Sanaa, A lovely 2016 birthday to you

    much love…

    Very introspective take on the prompt. There is something about birthdays, especially as we get older, where we try to come to terms with the past year so we have a better foundation for moving ahead.

    Hope that trusty companion in times of need, whereas nature is less helpful not bearing fools lightly and mankind is such a fool.

  13. Gazing at the lush and flaming marigold, I come to blow you a wish and in hope that nature remains a faithful companion. A very reflective and relevant piece, Sanaa!

  14. A beautiful, reflective wish for all our futures along with your own! Thank you for writing it.

    I think if we are able to see it nature can mend many a thing – beautifully written
