Ann Gilmour Poet Free verse

Life In Black and White

Imagine life in black and white
    The whitest day
        The blackest night…

I sit upon my balcony 
with colour all around me
scarlet red geraniums
hydrangeas pink and blue
golden yellow roses
their fragrance wafts upon the breeze
grateful that my eyes can see
Mother nature’s tapestry
The sky her hue an azure blue 
melts into the sea
where silvery diamonds shine and glisten
her ebb and flow meet on the sand
I close my eyes ~ lie back and listen
as two young lovers stroll hand in hand

On this dazzling fragrant Summers day 
I pray ~ don’t take the colours away

Imagine life in black and white
    The whitest day
        The blackest night…



Written 1st September 2020 on a perfect summers day...

John Watt September 1, 2020 at 12:11 PM An absolute feast of colour, Ann! What a delight to read. Two blessings I am most grateful for are nature's beauty and the eyesight to soak it in. Love your new avatar too. Congratulations and blessings, my friend ~ John Ann Gilmour September 2, 2020 at 1:36 AM I too am so grateful for those two blessings and I thank you dear John for your lovely words my friend. My new avatar was taken onboard the sister train of the Orient Express, which I rode with my sweet granddaughter ~ we are hoping to eventually ride upon the Orient Express in the very near future, hoping to go from London to Venice so watch this space, haha... With kindest thoughts Ann xx
