Dancing with Daisies

love poem

art ~ Obrasky

 

When the last summer song begins to fade

a lonely melody through once pastel adorned skies

and the breeze holds the memory of a softer time

 

whispering through a dream of daisies

 

steal through the dimming light my love

and find me

             petals unruffled

laughing with the birds and butterflies

                     still dancing

                           because you love me

most think of daisies they think of the old "she loves me, she loves me not.." of petals telling the joy or pain of love... but Julie, I like this version much better... of "unruffled petals" of "laughing with the birds and butterflies
still dancing
because you love me"...
have you ever walked and came upon a field of daisies??? wild flowers, everywhere and then couldn't resist the urge to just stop in the middle of them and lay down looking up at a cloudless blue sky. your poem took me back to that day... Thanks Julie, for the poem , but also for the memory.. ~~redezone

I spent most of my summer's growing up at my grandparents farm in the midwest. There were fields of daisies and wildflowers everywhere - such beautiful memories. I'm glad my poem brought wonderful memories back for you too! :) Julie

I think you made a good choice by using "daisies" in this piece...they illicit a certain feeling of youthful love and innocent desire. Another sublime and beautiful piece that just begs to be read multiple times. Well done.

I've always loved daisies...as a child my mother would refer to them as "little sunshine smiles".read moreI've always loved daisies...as a child my mother would refer to them as "little sunshine smiles".
