Poem Artwork

I want only the sun to warm me
Let it melt the blue day and make butter
of winter--go now--let me remember
when I was a wildflower bending the wind
to my will on strong stems--free

Oh the ease of letting the world pass
through me--being wild it let me be
Quiet now--settled in a bed of grass
for comfort--I am short of dreams
and long on thought
I need only the sun to warm me

Such a lovely write, Lin. It reminds me of when I was a child and I used to lie down on the grass and watch the clouds pass by overhead. I could dream for hours about what they represented. Thank you. Love and best wishes,

Regis

"Wildflower" a bouquet of perfume for our soul
an absolutly beautiful poem Lin!
I especially love how it read as though I was listening
giving those gentle commands (speaking to winter)

This is the "wondrous" time of life we the mature were allways taught was going to be "golden". I fear that what most of us have failed to realize is that inclination and declination have a common point.
Our needs remain the same, but the means by which we have to attain them
does not.

touching write,
Pierre

Nice one lizard blossom. Please forgive the hallucination, the warm sun visuals along with Purple Salvia? Pretty picture and pretty poem, Lin. Patrick
