Nature Awaits Thee, Alight and be at Peace
Nature Awaits Thee,
Nature awaits thee, children of the universe,
Alight and be at peace, for here is home,
Where all God’s creatures may rest and be one
With the Mother’s beauty as it awakens
In glorious joy to see the moon slowly
Descend to heavenly slumber just before
The warmth of sun appears in radiance,
To shine forth on another blessed day.
The delicious chill of the early morn
Lingers awhile yet, in quiet darkness,
Where peace surrounds me in splendor,
As I gaze in wonder at the morning star
That gracefully follows Luna,
And leads ol’ Sol who will shed light upon
Nature’s bounty and all that lives
With breathe of love in heart and soul.
Awaken little birds from peaceful slumber,
Let me hear your joyful morning songs,
That bring cheerful bliss to my heart,
Where love abides, gently yet strong,
For you and all of life here among
Such glorious beauty of creation.
Tis here in nature where we learn
Of love, balance and the flow of life.
I gratefully thank thee for the love in my heart and soul.

I have always liked to write.It is important to me that writing comes from my heart and soul. When writing poetry, if I do not feel a spiritual connection to what I am writing on, I will discard it and go on to something I can connect with on a spiritual level. I live in the moment, I write from the past or beyond the veil. When writing fiction I go with whatever inspires me at the moment - it could be funny, sorrowful, romantic or sometimes done with the use of colloquial language from mountain folk or other cultural regions.
I began writing content online in 2007, starting with BellaOnline - A Voice For Women, where I was the Native American Editor, Folklore & Mythology Editor, and the Appalachian Editor. I also wrote articles forThe Examiner, Daily Two Cents, and Yahoo. I am currently an author on HubPages.
Most of what I write takes a lot of research and I love it. Even if it is a fictional story, I will research for accuracy in whatever it takes to make my characters, their era, their location, etc. become realistic to the reader.
I hope you enjoy my works. Thank you for visiting.
