An Invitation


Poem and Photos by Ellysia Koenig Banks- April 25, 2014  
Come walk in My garden 
and take time to rest
immersed in the scents and the blooms.

 Let worry escape from the cares of the day
embracing this moment to slow.

 Let Me carry your thoughts
as your eye beholds beauty
and guides your heart to see.

 Find lightness and joy in the place that you are--
receiving permission to "be".

    Ellysia, I'm glad you take time to ponder. Stillness is a lost art today. Jamie

      It is well thought out especially today when we don't take time to take time. It helped me take a deep breath and remember that I will have time to go to the Bible study and give God back....

      Love to you, Kitty

      It is wonderful that God continually gives us reminders to breathe deeply of the goodness we are given--especially the precious moments that we often let pass too quickly or without thought. To "be"... and to be ok with "being"... that is a good place and a gift from our Creator who loves us.

    Good morning Poet
    Nicely done Ellysia, and the pics to go with your poem is very complementary to it.
    Yes, Gods garden is a place for reflection and thought, and a place to breathe, smell, and admire, the beauty and wonder of our creator God .
