Violets On the Hill

Majesty of color, so rich, my words are still
     I gaze upon their beauty, their promise to fulfill
To elevate the senses, to make one lose the will
     To forfeit captivation by the violets on the hill

In regal blue and purple vein, to echo lover’s thrill
     The whites and pinks of innocence in symbiotic drill
In scarlet reds, a theatre of nature’s palette,  twill
     I think I'll know forever, the violets on the hill

So beautiful especially in this season of Spring! I visited my son in Chicago, one Spring. Lovely blue violets were flourishing. A memory with my visit!
