Blessings

As I lay on the forest floor, 
gazing at the starry sky,
I wonder about the blessings,

                 ~that are numerous,
                   than the stars passing by.


The sodden forest ground,
the smell of ferns and fronds,
chirping night voices,

~ earth's blessings,
   and bond,
   with creatures roaming along.


Soft brumal winds,
their tinkling hints,
snowflakes floating around,
jewels of wintry crown,

~ seasonal blessings,
   lovingly,
   showered down.

Your words are full of so much gratefulness. We are nature. Nature is full of blessings. Lovely writing, Vandana.

The language in these lines is so delicate:
'Soft brumal winds,
their tinkling hints,
snowflakes floating around,
jewels of wintry crown'.
