Trumpets of Blue

Driftwood - petrified swirls of wood laced with delicately draping trumpets of blue Morning glories in mist my heart aches for true Why does it pine for the essence of you petrified thoughts a delicate whimsy climbs seeking a dark sun to flex her tendrils on Minute are the creatures that flaunt themselves craving to be noticed Flowers brighter than a rainbow may as well be grey Dull and dreary senses locked in clouds of reticence perhaps a kiss a fluttering eyelash to awaken them look there such beauty can intoxicate the unsuspecting

Very true. I tend to go for the newer posts as well ... but going through the older ones, on occasion, I find ones that totally passed me by ... like finding that a gold nugget.

You do have a way with words, Suz. A lot to ponder about so delicate a thing. The fluttering eyelash and "minute creatures flaunting themselves craving to be noticed" are what got to me. Your trumpets of blue have real personality ... surprising enough to stop any traveler on his/her path.
