By Rainbow's Kiss

And should my life, a flower be Each petal, of a memory I’d find a stem of envied bliss In lush of hue by rainbow’s kiss A bloom of full and rich delight In gratitude, so soft and white Abundant as a garden grows I think back now as I suppose It’s not that thorns have never stung It’s just that song, I haven’t sung For what reflects in morning sun The softest petals, moonlight spun And when my life, as flowers do Begins to fade, not to be blue A lifetime gifted by the Source Will carry me with no remorse

Dear Mike, the metaphorical beauty of your exquisite poem takes my breath away; "And should my life, a flower be / Each petal, of a memory" - wow! ..and "And when my life, as flowers do / Begins to fade, not to be blue" - your verse embraces the heart! Belated congrats for POTD honors and for achieving the top spot on the best new poems list! The many accolades are well-deserved! A stunning piece, my friend. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
