Lavender of Light

I can see a sunny day The air is crisp and clear and warm It permeates my skin Infusing every single pore with lavender of light Every wing of every bird glides in feathered harmony Every flower beckons and honey glistens every hive as busy bee’s parade It’s not just in my memory this day of golden shine Through silver beaded drops of rain and clouds of shadowed fate I see it up ahead I feel that sunny day and with its keen embrace I’ll hold onto its ever present kiss To not look back and not regret and linger in the dawn

I love your title and also how delicately and elegantly your words flow, its like a breath of fresh air! So soul warming with so much depth! “Through silver beaded drops of rain and clouds of shadowed fate I see it up ahead” how descriptive is the way you express and deliver your poems! I love this one! Definitely a fave for me

Lavender of light , one of those things we care to mention. Like the wings, the day, the honey. It's a thing that makes the sum of all things.

an uplifting and delightful poem. In fact, the morning you described matches perfectly with the one I witnessed this morning. Your words are as breathtaking as my view this morning. I sincerely liked the ending...living in the present is paramount...not lingering in the dawn too long. Have to fave this one!enjoy your day, Sara
