Nature's Touch

 

Nature’s Touch

By Barry S. Maltese

 

 

The wind blew over my body

Caressing me softly with natures own touch

The smell just filled up my senses

With a flavor that I longed for so much.

 

I felt the warmth of the sunlight

Joining with the energy of my very being

I need not open my eyes to enjoy . . .

Though the beauty was there for everyone’s seeing

 

For in one glorious moment

The heart of this world joined fully with mine

As if somehow, this whole Universe

Had a harmony crafted by a Spirit Devine

 

The planets all moved in their normal pace

Creating a wave like a vast open sea

Rippling the fabric of both time and space

Until it touched that one little speck that was me

 

I gazed out into the sunlit sky

Realizing within my retrospect

That no matter how large this Galaxy might be

In some way every component does connect

I had to take this one phrase out to point out the deliverance that you give. You are a powerful writer. You make powerful points and you are a common man.

What you give to people is more than what they will ever know. Krystal Waters/Kathryn Star

Great poem. The first three stanzas were good, nice imagery, but the last two stanza's were what won me over. The ending line was very good and the idea of the fourth stanza with you as the 'tiny speck' resonated well with me.

You write with in such uplifting tones.. This was so beautiful and so true with such vivid imagery...A warm and glorious write...excellently done...

Pont made beautifully - we ARE all connected! Everything in the vast universe is connected in some sort of "7 degrees..." type of way.

Your deliver is absolutely breath taking. The visuals that flowed through my mind as I read this are ones that I won't , soon, forget.

- I love those lines...

We don't always have to have our eyes open to "see", sometimes it is about feeling... just relaxing and letting nature wash over you. You've shown that in brilliant pose.

Excellent write :)

Now, this... I love. I have a few nature poems myself, and let me tell you- when you get it out perfectly- it shines! This my friend, really did! You're imagery is lovely! Just like nature herself, you are caring, positive and blessed with such a nice soul!

Keep writing more of these types of poetry- they really work for you!

I once saw a photograph of two Galaxies passing through each other and the comment was made by some Astronomer that the chance of a star or planet in one or the other ever colliding was infinitesimal. I just wonder if they are waving to each other.
