Untethered Zeal

Sadness seen in winter's white blanket

covering lush forests

green like the color of her eyes.

Lakes and rivers are quiet and serene, 

but with sun and rain comes rebirth.

  Then, water flows life into the land.

 Spring breathes joy into

vibrant shades of the earth

pushing up nature's gardens

Euphoria is felt

through the touch of a hand 

on velvety soft petals.

Animals frolic among the flowers

feeding on blades of green grass,

afterward seeking shelter at night

under the canopy of trees.

Summer winds call out her name

Anne,  naive to some 

Only few know the depths of her soul

 or have seen her passion.

The depths of her soul and her passion shine through in each poem she writes.
I felt the gentle touch of those "velvety soft petals", uplifting my soul as I read this, Anne Marie.

And for those who have not seen your passion or the depths of your soul after reading this are obviously blind. One of the most peaceful and scerene poems I have read in a long time. Great poem Anne! Good luck with the contest.

From a fan of nature poems you certainly do it justice, and it is from the passion and depths of your soul that you do so, Beautiful Anne Marie, simply Beautiful.
