Joseph P. DiMino Poet Rhyme

Blossom Children

From cloud-wells
Pour forth a quench--
And parting
Leave behind
rainbow high:
Our reach for heaven,
Extracting color
drawn from deep
enchanting sky…
Added dewdrops of
Fairy wings;
(Tints are flirting
Fluttering lashes)
Texture of silky, swirling
Web-sashes,
perennials of infinite dye;

We are Blossom Children--
Deep roots eternal
Not in soil,
But the maker of fertile-base;
His beds, earth and sky;
Of His many worldly petals 
you and I--
Unfolding, our journey of ripeness;
Bearing fruits from bitter to sweet;
As blooms gathering all brightness
In service of gardens,
Forever Bouquets
a selfless treat….

Connie Marcum Wong October 14, 2016 at 7:44 PM Joe your poem expresses beautifully the growth of souls, the struggle between good and evil within each person. Birth is a gift and we may teach our offspring right from wrong, yet each must experience the karma they have come to learn. In Buddhism the lotus is known to be associated with purity, spiritual awakening and faithfulness. This is where my thought went when I read your lovely poem.7; ) Joseph P. DiMino October 14, 2016 at 9:39 PM It's all in there. Thank you, Connie for such a wonderful, perceptive comment. Have a beautiful day my friend!
