Poem
Florid hues of soft petaled flowers cast satin rose splashes of pastel colors that move within the cool morning shade, as the brilliance of the smiling sun reflects its warm beams of life from each delicate bud. Rhoda, so fragile, stands gazing for hours watching the stains as they dance in the shadows cast before her like captive souls of forgotten dreams, her lonely heart betrayed by a single wet stain left drying as the dew burns slow from the mud. The day advances past Phlox and Cornflowers when she spies him near, alone in the sun, a new friend she hopes yet he seems out of place, with exotic movements and hypnotic grace which stirs, anew, an emotional flood. "Phil," he says, his hand reaching for hers as smiling petals rim her lips, too quickly her heart is lost to new love, and together they enter a beautiful bliss, as she dreams of sharing his name, if she could. Time passes by into gentle warm showers, the golden rays peek through to dry each leaf, then their lonely shadows lengthen to one and together they revel in their new found love in the darkness of this lonely, bleak wood. Betoken breeze blows cold through the bowers as a cloud passes by and his shadow dissipates, Rhoda and Phil Odendron, she whispers their names, and she looks, and he's gone, and her poor heart breaks past the smiles, past love, he's now gone for good. 06/14/2017
