Warm Thoughts

And the petals opened one by one, catching the prayers of the sun. The dew lay like diamonds, tiny drops of life giving ambrosia. The stigma inhales the aura as the butterflies come to dance. While the ladybird struts this floral crown. Fragrances borne on gentle zephyr fill the air with the wonderment of love. Love in a desire that is given so freely. From mulch and passing seasons new life is created, birth arrives as death sleeps. Shoots, saplings, yearlings shall grace the eye, and the blending greens caress the land. And the bee shall bless the blossom, giving fruit for natures cause. And nature herself shall sit warm in the heart, in contentment and serenity. Alas as I peep the frosty window pain I know this is long away. The white blanket that covers puts all life in sleep, the promise of spring lies deep. The thought it keeps me warm.
