spring-tide breeze blows, tickling blossoms on a plum branch, set free, loose and giggling in the air, dancing in the gold sun like pixies ... capricious in their flight, a whimsical drift, aromatic, elegant and flawless like the wild wishes of a child ... floating to purpose anew, to alight on a dream afar, enigmatic, joyous, true ... as blessed in the journey as they are in the order of their exquisite design, as sure with their destiny as they are in the perfect, sweet, resplendent sacrifice ... sublime essence of being, the lifeblood of existence ... a bright, crisp, glorious morning breath of nature ... itself. ~ Honorable Mention ~ in the "Strand Pick E, Any Theme, Any Form" Poetry Contest, Brian Strand, Judge & Sponsor.
