The Quiet Grove
By John T. Mathis
Come away with me,
To a sunny wood,
Where birds chirp from trees,
And soft green grass covers the floor like a carpet.
Come see the small, warm old church,
Stained glass glistening,
Smooth stone walls,
A beacon in the woods.
Come and smell the burning fireplace,
That wafts on a crisp autumn wind,
Warmth that glows.
A fire that proves love’s not lost.
Come and sit on the soft carpeted ground,
Grasp the earth,
Fell it slip through your fingers.
The ground grows gently.
Come and look at the entire painting,
Not to close,
Not
Too
Far.
Take it all in.
Come and listen to the calm breeze,
It echoes, “adventureâ€

John T. Mathis, you have very nice poetry.
That being said, however, please post all your poetry in one thread if possible, because right now you are hogging up the writing section by placing a new thread for every single poem you write. This is quite unfair to many of the other poets, who have threads dedicated to their poetry like sheherazade, Icarus, Rachel and even writers like Madeline. Each time you post by starting a thread, you bump your stuff up and the rest of the writers unfairly get bumped waaaaay down.
So please, out of courtesy, stop filling the writing section with only your work - it's very selfish, and I'm sure you did this not realizing what you were doing.

[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE
You see into the deepest part of me ---
beyond the fog I hide behind.
You cast your light upon the shadows
that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.
You ease the pain when I am hurting,
and morbid visions from my past
pierce into the realm of Reason
as though I danced on blades of glass.
You grant me strength when I have fallen
and, once again, I've lost my way.
You take my hand in Yours and lead me
into the promise of a brand new day.
You bring order to all my chaos,
yet set my well-laid plans awry.
You place me on a firm foundation ---
then give me wings so I can fly.
You sand away my roughened edges
and polish all the dullest parts
until I stand before Your presence...
a newly-sculpted work of art.
You see into the heart within me,
right through my motives and selfish will.
And yet, in spite of all You see
You say You love me even still.

Well, live and learn, and then start a poetry collection thread. I look forward to reading what you put in yours. You have such wonderful use of language. Personally, I like having a thread for my poetry because as I add more poems, having them all together helps me to start to see how my poetry develops and prgresses. I think that it is interesting to see the subtle shifts in it.
When I feel blue, I start breathing again.
