Blue Daisy

Awaking from deep slumber
she peeps at the crimson sky
her loose tresses wet with dew.
Shyly, loyal to the rising sun,
on a naked stalk she spreads
her striking petals washed in blue.
Growing in confidence she smiles
cheerfully exuberant.
Open-eyed, she whiles time away, 
listening to the soft whispers
of the breeze and young lovers,
their every secret shared
willingly...they trust, they know:
A daisy never tells!

Thank you very much, Susan for the most lovely feedback! It is sincerely appreciated. ~ A generally accepted meaning of a daisy is that it's loyal to love and commitment, and can keep a secret...such is implied in the end line. ~ Warm regards // paul

There is a positive side to being busy, Eileen. I am busy most days, but somehow I manage to elongate my day and fit in a couple of extra hours...if you hear hooting late at night, that would be me:) Thank you for the lovely comments...a boost to an old man's ego! Hugs // paul
