Early Spring Photo Preview and Poems
Please enjoy my floral photography and poetry. I hope it brings a bright spot to your day! All photos were captured in my Michigan, USA garden. The first and last poems are loving reflections over my husband, Joseph's, passing. The rest of the poetry is lighthearted and fruitful, like the Spring season that inspired my musings!
My True Blue Lover
My True Blue Lover
You tried your best everyday of your life
You endeavored to always do what was right
You dug deep down to find inner strength
You sailed through life's storms, sometimes at length
You captured and held on to your dignity
Your love was the truest of blue, most willingly,
I am proud and so very blessed
To have known you, but now you can rest
I love you and miss you everyday
I feel you watching me make my way
For which words can't express
My gratefulness
Rocks, Petals of Pollen
Come to me
my petals of pollen
and let me rock your world
with my warm Earth
Spring Hyacinths
Ode to Hyacinth
Hyacinth, hyacinth
Let me take pleasure in your sweet scent
Life is worth living with your presence
Springtime Spark
Ode to Forsythia
Forsythia, forsythia
just when I thought there was no end
to winter's bare branches,
you took my breathe away!
Aaah, Spring Green
When out from the dark arise the first leaves,
the landscape takes a deep breath and aims to please
From new growth of green
it creates a fresh scene,
Ready to feed the forest creatures
produce flowers which it features
For the birds and bees
who once inspired Socrates,
Anticipation replaces dormancy
And the sacred cycle will continue on past eternity
Thrill of the Daffodil
Thrill of the Daffodil
Is it true what they spill
a flower has the will
to grapple with winter's kill
and cure the season's ill
but the only flowering frill
simply for the thrill
would have to be the daffodil
Flaming Heart
Flaming Heart
Right from the start
Your fire lit my heart
We swiftly vowed till death do us part
For now, your absence burns
And everyday I yearn
Wishing you could someday return
Through all this pain
Our love has gained
The wisdom that our love is an eternal flame
The heart in the center petal inspired me to muse the memory of my late husband, Joseph... 6/17/47-11/13/09!
