Topic: Write in the POETRY genre (05/17/07)
Feel the pulse
See the sights
Smell the aroma
Hear the excitement
Taste the sweetness

Experience the feelings
Witness the scenery
Follow the scent
Listen to peacefulness
Savor every morsel

Walk with me in the garden
Step into the wonderment of green
Do you smell the jasmine and the lilacs?
Can you hear the canter of insects fluttering by?
Imagine the taste of berries so sweet.

God has provided all this glory for us to enjoy
He has given us sight to see the intricate workings of His plan
But our lives are so intertwined with distractions we miss out
Jehovah is calling our names in the garden and we cannot hear
He is inviting us to feast with Him but we keep ignoring the plea.

He has prepared a table for us
He has invited us to be present with Him
Come and enjoy what God has provided in our honor
Let Him guide our thoughts
Come see the splendor He has brought to the table

Create in your mind the table for feasting
Listen to the sounds of gathering souls
Smell the savory morsels being prepared in our honor
Look with new awareness at the beauty provided before us
Take hold of and touch the magnificence.

Savor every morsel
Listen to peacefulness
Follow the scent
Witness the scenery
Experience the feelings

Taste the sweetness
Hear the excitement
Smell the aroma
See the sights
Feel the pulse

I am so glad you left a comment this week on my teen entry or I may not have got to read this. I added this poem to my favorites

I am not actually big on poetry, but I really enjoyed this one. Great job! Congrats on 7th place.
