The Flowers in the Window Box

~ for Lydi ~

art ~ Vicente Romero

 

 

The flowers in the window box are blooming

Bright smiles beckon as if they were to say

the sound of raindrops you hear resuming

are timeless traces of another day

 

And in the past when a lonely raindrop

left a chill upon dreams, the window pane

was cold and damp but now the rain has stopped

It’s time to dry the teardrops that remain

 

Though vision blurs there’s still unseen beauty

gentle in it’s embrace, much like sunbeams

weaving soft rays of light, so you can see

the colors of a rainbow paint your dreams

 

There won’t be rain today or tomorrow

for blooming in the window box…a flower

Though vision blurs there’s still unseen beauty
gentle in it’s embrace, much like sunbeams
weaving soft rays of light, so you can see
the colors of a rainbow paint your dreams

Beautifully Written... Your whole written (Sonnet) is refreshing!

You've painted this picture with softly colored rainbows and striking hues of sunbeams Julie, a sweet breath of fresh air from your pen. Luverly, as always my friend. :-)

"there’s still unseen beauty gentle in it’s embrace" - wonderful line. It like a soft plushy verbal pillow, beautiful.

Thank you Trace. It has been awhile since I've practiced forms - I need to start practicing again - I have forgotten so many! If you have time, maybe we could collab on something... Julie

I would love that. I have a few days off.
We need to finish our elevator poems.
maybe we could do a series or another date night with that artist.

"Though vision blurs there’s still unseen beauty
gentle in it’s embrace, much like sunbeams
weaving soft rays of light, so you can see
the colors of a rainbow paint your dreams"
