Coming into canopy….

Crispy and cluttered
and coming undone
I come
crawling into the lap of Love,
my “what ifs” coaxed
into capable
caring hands
I come
crawling into the lap of Love,
my “what ifs” coaxed
into capable
caring hands

and I go calm
as living breezes croon over me
with gentle affection
and kisses
of courage
….no need to climb;
this Love is clever enough,

doesn’t even need my strength
…just wants me
and my real, true colors.

Soothing shelter coaches my soul
to cast off the cares,
toss the control,
and let this crazy sweetness
captivate me
with the clear cooling light
that cradles
comforts
and companions me.

Yeah, I’m covered:)
Darn lost my post. Such beautiful words and imagery and I love the photos they illustrate what you've expressed so well.
I love the canopy that covers you. It's is so beautiful and comforting. JB

Awesome Jen. I even used the bottom picture for my desktop. Hugs.
Beautiful pictures and inspiring poem.
I love all of the metaphors you get from the simplicity. The image of being covered, my "what ifs" coaxed into capable caring hands. This is such a safe, beautiful picture of the love he has for us. love it! xo, e
What a beautiful poem. I love how every particle of your being seems to wax poetically. Truly refreshing.
Also, I just saw on your blogger page that you live in Charlotte. I lived there for 10 years! And actually, we just moved from Maryland back to NC – I'm in Fayetteville. Small world.
beautiful
love the reassurance of your words
and the peace always here in your blog
love you too!
"BEAUTIFUL"! I could feel the touch in your post Jen. I could picture His hands covering me just like these beautiful leaves on the trees do in your photo. Y♥U and your words are AMAZING girl! You've been given a very special gift. Y♥U always touch my heart.
Basking in that canopy with you!

Beautiful thoughts for a summer's day. Thank you, Jennifer, for all your lovely words here at your blog, and at mine when you comment. I treasure you, and whenever I post something…. I'm most touched by your response. Have a wonderful day under the canopy….

Love the images you conjure with your words. Thank you!
what a covering of love it is …
a canopy is like safety net….only above us instead of below us 🙂

Beautiful!
Such exquisite words..and the perfect pairing of word to image. Gorgeous light!
Your writing and images are works of art. Thank you so much for sharing them!
xoxo
Jennifer,
I love the sunlight streaming in through these photos! And your words…so, so wonderful…
Is that a bluebird box on the tree? or a bat box? Last night a bat flew right at my windshield, but at the last second, he swerved!
Thanks for coming by my blog again. I really appreciate it.
I just love these photos! So peaceful and beautiful. I have a large tree in my backyard that used to have a canopy chair and then a canopy under it. I loved the feel of sitting under that tree and watching the world around me.
The words are wonderful — the photos so beautiful. Again, your sense of color makes me dizzy with joy!
