Arousal

Arousal

They shout my name when I pass them in the grocery store
They stand up and wave as I drive by and glance
They grace my table with elegance and charm
Sometimes they bend their ways and spread their beauty
Revealing a golden center crown
They must have been created by God
Just for me
For they stir my soul and make me passionate
They are faithful if tended well
And their colors are the beauty of the earth
How I long to see them
Every spring
My tulips

beautiful like two pink lips--two lips puckered in a kiss.

Tulips originated in the mountains of Turkey. I often wonder how they could have made it in such a rugged place then display such beauty. Mine are about 2 1/2 inches high now and I am looking forward to the future growth and blooms. I am glad that you wrote this one and reminded me how glorious they are. Keep the creative pen flowing. Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my work. Sara
