Theme chosen : Flowers Beneath My Feet
When the northern wind goes back to its polar abode, the glacier strands of cloud fly away on the arctic wings of winter, the satin southern winds compose with the cadence of velvet breeze an ode for the sapphire spring. The humming birds sing when the dawn’s colors explode on the dew-drenched meadow, with the sparkle of diamond splendor, letting the spring in the amorous air bloom the beguiled buds of fervor. While through the sunburst dust we walk in the sequined dawn, lighting up the garden’s garnet path, where the dwindling lines of floral saplings sway surmounted in the summer squalls of discontent, the love-starved flowers wither with the shriveled essence of my longing. I feel the poignant crunch of flowers beneath my feet. Every step is then an articulation of my fragile brittle feeling of the soft collision of yearning and the wildflowers of my deprivation. Yet, even if the bruised beauty gets treaded upon the fallen blossoms in the storm raged meadow, I paint their shape-shifted insignia on the blue canvas of our togetherness. In the twilight zone they will glisten with the patina of residual florid rapture within our opal sanctum inside, the garden of our real home, where the flowers will bloom again.
