In My Dreams


The picture above was taken from Joshua Tree National Park, San Bernardino County, California. The tall grotesque plants in the background are that of Joshua trees, named after how their limbs are outstretched like in a prayer. While the poem above, was written when I think of our dear God in my prayertime. Thus, I used the Joshua Tree picture as background of the poem as the Joshua tree resembles a tree in prayer.

Joshua Trees
I hope to be writing more about Joshua Tree National Park sometime.....

Your poem is beautiful, and your picture is beautiful. I think they are very interesting looking specimens, and with such a lovely name.

Interesting, I didn't know how the Joshua Tree had received its name. Heartfelt poem and beautiful photos!

I like your poem, and I like the effect of the pictures. I've heard of these trees before, but I never knew they looked so unique.

You are right, they look like their arms were stretched out in prayers. I have learned to reach out in open arms when I sing songs of praises in the church - a gesture of acceptance and surrender to our Almighty God.
