DAILY GRATITUDE FLOWERS

I am grateful for flowers…
how they always remind me…
that for everyone I meet in life
to make room…
because a flower 
does not think of competing with
exploiting  
or hurting the flower next to it…
all a flower does…
is bloom.

FLOWERS

May we be blessed to understand how our mind…with all it’s power…
when we stop to think about it…is similar to a flower.

because minds and flowers…both need to be unfurled…
and both are 
at their most beautiful…when they are open to the world

May

Month May summons spring,                                                   

I Am Grey

Is grey a colour
I’m not sure
It’s the way I look
Next to her

She is vibrant
Yes technicolor 
I’m just her shadow 
She’s like no other

Don’t get me wrong
I can’t complain
A flower can’t thrive
Without the rain.


Not for Andrea’s contest but is inspired by it.

I am Turquoise

I am forever roaming, turquoise,
Thrashing, with a roaring noise.

I'm often kissed by sunset's lips,
Red in passing, on endless trips.

Reflected in my sparkling deeps,
The sky I once was, often peeps.

I'm foliage and flowers and birds.
I am so much, but I'm also earth!

Lately, I'm more blue than green.
Save the planet! Keep it all clean!

I Am Yellow

I am a butter cup
From which you can drink 
Perhaps I’m the sun
that makes you blink

Even when I’m blue
Inside I am yellow
After all my friend
I’m perfectly mellow

For Andrea Deitrich’s Imagine yourself as a colour contest, 

A Rose

        

          A pale pink rose, with scent

          of a thousand perfumes and 

          faultless, dark-hued leaves. 
 
  

Dandelion Field

If I could I would buy that dandelion field for you
I saw in a village overseas,
Where the blossoms are bright yellow like the sun
and grows up to your knees,
You could bestow millions of wishes on the seeds and
let the wind carry them away,
If I could I would buy that dandelion field for you
as a gift

Dust to Dust

I am looking out my dining room window, overlooking the birdbath in the small garden of my flat. The arum lilies have added a new bloom—just as the last one is dying off—beside the grave marker of my pet: not just any dog, but my trusty emotional support animal. A black bird takes an early

Autumn is Near

                                               Autumn is near


     

Mi Amor

Receiving your heartfelt kisses,
The only moments in which my stubborn loneliness seizes.
For a while we were galaxies apart,
Missing your body, the best work of art.


Mi Amor, the flower I needed;
Through your sweet aroma, my trust issues defeated.
Cause you hold on to me as if I'm falling off a cliff, 24/7.
As you offer a helping hand,

Two rules of life

Life of mere moments two 
Rings in at roots rules two:
Blossom as flower does,
Spread fragrance as it does,
To give love is greatest of gift,
To get, biggest trophy to lift.

Them and Us

You see the evil doesn’t look at all condemned
Those evil troublemakers of mankind
Are well remembered, way above the nameless dead
Who by the will of country rulers had to die
Because the actions, as you say my darling dear
Speak louder than words, and so they act
As if they had too little history in rear 
So thinking they’re

Beauty Crowned

burgundy and cream
and orange blossoms she wore
crowned in hues and lore

fresh naturally
like deep green, minty morning
sweet scent trails forming

queen of nature crowned
in myriad blooms daily
so lovely lately
