Lilac Longing

When rooted promises shift through dusts of seasonal change,
from a kyanite blue breeze to whirling wisps of lilac longing.
Memories live on, as nothing of value is ever lost.

Wonderful indigo imagery. It is said that kyanite aligns the chakra and brings balance to the yin and yang. Within that balance all possibilities are and memories live on. Thank you.

Dear Jan, thank you so much for your kind feedback, im grateful. And congratulations on your book being published, I remember the feeling of getting published. And I think my son would enjoy your poo jokes too. I remember when he was little i had to come up with so many poop jokes and stories to put him to bed and was our way of bonding. He would have enjoyed your limericks. Pleasure hearing from you. Sending you light.

Dear Ink, promises that are grounded, can be uprooted. Sometimes this happens without warning, while other times, it is done unintentionally. So true that: ' Memories live on,' and things or moments of 'true value;' are never lost. This is beautiful, tender and emotional, all at the same time. Congratulations my dear friend, on Poem of the Day. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy
