"...simple hope which burns there / In this microcosmic sun"

First Nasturtium The first nasturtium of spring A gift my Grandma gave me Volunteering offering Ancestral light to save me From the dark of my despair Petals of flame spell my name In simple hope which burns there In this microcosmic sun Solitary like the one Which warms us both above me We two stand remembering The loved and lost who love me Still as always and who will Through the thawing winter's chill Reaching from eternity As above so even here Through my sickness through my fear: This nasturtium blooms for me +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMVI

Beautiful, Steven, just beautiful!!
*In this microcosmic sun
Solitary like the one
Which warms us both above me
We two stand remembering
The loved and lost who love me*
Words to hold and savour.

Peace.

Ahhhh so promising are those first blooms and always leave us in such a warm optimistic frame of mind that the winter is over and summer on the way. At our age that means so much. Great write Steve and I love your choice of color...
