The other day during our New Wrinkles Zoom gathering David was sharing with us how therapeutic it has been to get outside, take a walk, breathe fresh air, see the beauties of nature. At one point he used the phrase, “so many shades of green; so many shades of blue,” and I immediately thought, “there’s a poem (a song) in that.” So, I wrote the following, inspired by that phrase. I hope it touches a good place in your soul.
SO MANY SHADES OF SPLENDOR
You have eyes and ears
To see and hear
The world that is around you
Flowers and trees and birds and bees
Dancing
Like every other day
Colors so bright, so beautiful
The splendor
Takes your breath away
So many shades of green
So many shades of blue
Bursts of color everywhere
In the sky
In the garden
In your eyes
Faces to greet us
Smiles to warm us
So many shades of you and me
So many hearts and hands to hold
To set our spirits free
And the dance,
The dance of life goes on
In our minds
In our hearts
In our homes
The dance,
The dance of love, our song
Arises
Surrounds us
We are not alone

Many shades of every possible colour 🙂 I guess we all go bouncing between dark and light shades of not so much grey…Keep safe.

nice; yes, nature is nurturing and exhilarating at the same time — a rare little double act 🙂
