Lavender Fields In a vast sea of scents and sights poetry floats to the top gathering sunrays as if they were tangible. 4-2-19 Original Poem "Beauty" Liberum Divisa Poetry Contest ~2ndPlace~ Sponsored by: Gregory R Barden Beauty The fields of lavender purge their purple souls in rolling rows as they steal your breath. She was once like they... transparent, innocent of knowing her beauty matched theirs and could make you weep. In a vast sea of scents and sights poetry floats to the top gathering sunrays as if they were tangible. 4-1-19 © Connie Marcum Wong

Oh, I do love lavender; the beauty of it, as well as, it's medicinal uses. I use it when I have trouble sleeping. Well done.

Beautiful Connie. Lavender and Lilac are my favorite scents. An old sayings goes that if you grow lavender outside your garden gate it's good luck. I have lavender and lilacs in my garden and I do grow some lavender outside my gate. Love this, God Bless, JB
