Blushing roses in vibrant hues Lilac and mauve, lemon yellow and ceruse Beautiful whispers of light, followed by moods Tangerine and gold, vivid blue, azure Like the silent summer moon, shimmering Stars, reflecting joy and warmth Brilliant gold sunflowers, smiling Over the hills and through the rows Silent and soothing, searching signals Faith promises, played like a rhythm Melodies of love, laughing and lasting Breathing through the oaks and pines Woodlands, a wilderness, embracing Hearts who reverberate the mysteries Breathtaking lilacs, lavender hope Enlightening, delighting, reassuring Breaking through the dreams, the reveries Freeing, accepting, enduring all the doubts Reminding the shades of inspiration To capture the love in the imagination The attraction of wonder within a sigh Beckoning on clouds who pass on by Bring me the jewels of blooms, soft petals Murmuring on the wind, truths, pleasures Dancing gracefully, peace on the waters Of my heart, my soul, liquid promise of a garden Glorious and joyous – prayers of the natural world 2022 Poetry Marathon Mile 5 Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Mark Toney June 26, 2022

There is not one line in this poem that doesn't make me want to run barefoot through fields of flowers like a child! Congratulations on your winning entry in the marathon, Gina. A pastoral gem.
