Petals of the Night

Such is the beauty of spring, Filling our eyes with pleasure and The bounty of fruit the flowers bring. The silver glow of diamond stars Begets the beauty of the buds which softly beckon 'hear we are'. The newborn nightness doth surround The pastel pink of cherry blossoms And a gentle breeze guides petals to the ground. Ray Dillard

I agree with Debbie here......each stanza is a lovely triplet of beautiful thoughts for the mind to dream upon! I loved this lovely poem!

Hello Ray, it was nice receiving a comment from your pen. :-).... About your poem: I wish to see this image after the morning sun. Spring can bring beauty from one night to the other. In passion, the ground endures in a kiss upon Earth. lovely~LINDA
