Connie Marcum Wong Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Lavender Skies 1

Lavender Skies 1

Lavender shades are reflected 
In the shy sparkle of your eyes. 
As dawn reveals still purple hills 
In early morning’s gloaming skies. 

Tall pines enchant us with bird songs 
In harmony's league with the wind. 
Lovers kissing in silhouette, 
As two souls intertwined ascend, 

Rising beyond...lavender skies 
A sacred dimension unseen. 
As above so below we seek 
To keep divine love in between. 

By this sacred love we’ve been blessed 
To share such happiness given. 
Two hearts with twin aspirations 
Shall dwell on Earth as in Heaven.

I have been cooking for my g.daughter all week while her mother visits her brother in hospital in Vegas. We made time for some fun.
