MEMORY OF YOUTH

 

I seldom spoke words,
spending my days quite alone,
imagining make believe.

But a poet lurked,
buried beneath my shyness,
till my petals opened wide !

Dear Constance, such gentle honesty. I loved both the solitude and the quiet, which blossomed into something beautiful. O' an extraordinary journey from shy roots to poetic bloom so tenderly. Such a heartfelt piece. Autumn Blessings, Dear Constance, Daniel
