A Blush of Beauty

Spring is for painting a Masterpiece of Beauty... 

Leaving the misunderstandings in the snow-driven shadows.   

Tulips kiss the warm air where Butterflies will gather... 

Windmills will turn with renewed vows of Serendipity.  

"Where flowers bloom... so does hope" and forgiveness... 

A quote by Lady Bird Johnson" as read in "Birds and Blooms.

I feel refreshed, weightless... as if I'm floating through air,

"Leaving the misunderstandings in the snow-driven shadows."

love this specially, it speaks of leaving hate, unkindness, and gloominess behind, and be prepared to receive Spring masterpiece of hope and love, brightness and joy. Thank You dearest Pat for keep spreading positive, delightful and hopeful vibes all over our site.

dearest Song of Light... I appreciate your generous review. Actually, it is You that deserve such accolades. I do see “Hate” in our World; however, so many people are full of Hope and 💕 love. My poem is a Prayer that is Sincere, but in a more “Gentle” persuasion. There are times when we stumble and fall... because we are fragile.
Prayers can be powerful. A Prayer can be answered in ways that may be a Mystery...
but nonetheless G-d works in mysterious ways. May you be Blessed always. tenderly, Pat

[lightsong]

Your tenderness and gentle poems are like prayers spreading kindness, may your heart always glow with blissful warmth ✨💖✨

[Patricia Wedel]

G-d’s Angels... Thank you for your blissful
Warmth. Amen ... Pat

[lightsong]

There is nothing like spring blossoming after a long cold bleak winter filled with snow. Spring colors the earth once more and warming the air

[Pryde Foltz]

A delightful write, Pat, and hopefully some sympathetic magic as well)

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Pryde... I try to be diplomatic, but there are times when I may be misunderstood. When you have a poet friend whom you have never met in person... it can be difficult to be understood. Prayer is often the only healing to be given. truly, Pat
it can be difficult to be understood.

[Pryde Foltz]

Yes ... I understand. I try to assume best intentions but when it is impossible to do so, I remind myself that everything passes and often it is more to do with the mood of the reader.

A gorgeous poem, a wonderful quote and a beloved season arriving with many new promises for lovers, poets and all people. May your garden bloom with all beautiful things and be visited by many birdies to behold.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Sami... your Heart is bursting with words that soothe a weary traveler in need of repose... the “promise” of Nature that each Season brings healing and forgiveness if only we believe. May your Path be strewn with Primrose in pastel colors of Peace and Love... tenderly, Pat

[Sami Khalil]

I really wish it would get here, Pat. I know you live in Virginia as I do, and I am sitting here before a blazing fire trying to get my feet warm. Come hither, spring!

[Patricia Wedel]

Dear John... trying to deal with politics and climate change, as well as COVID is quite a challenge. At least Spring will bring a sense of healing. If it were any worse, it would be fatal. (Out of the mouth of Babes)... just trying to get a smile a 😊 yea for Sunshine ... maybe. gently, Pat ... nice to know you are in Virginia. Every State needs Poets now more than ever... to soothe our feathers.

Thank you for sharing. I am deep into spring-mania already, since we've been up to 70* & 80* for the past few weeks, no rain tho . . . a sad 10" total in the past year. This is a great description that generates excitement & emotion, just thru imagery. That's the crux of poetry, in my estimation. I have sunny windowsills full of romaine & other loose-leaf lettuces, about 5 or 6 ready to pick, full & luscious & green, no bird pecking! I never intended to grow winter lettuce indoors, I was only starting plants to move into the garden later. But these grew up so fast in this concentrated hot sunlight, I'm suddenly wondering why I never thought about growing lettuce indoors before? One whole side of my cabin, which is all windows, is fully sunlit! Thanks again for sharing your obvious infection from spring frenzy (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Margie ... I loved reading about your Romaine lettuce... you do have a green thumb... it must be beautiful. One summer we grew lettuce in our backyard. You must eat it quickly while it is tender and sweet. The side of your Cabin with mostly Windows would be your own Green House. When I worked in D.C. and would be between Assignments..
I would visit the Washington Cathedral and walk up to the top floor and look out the Windows at the Gargoyles on the outside ledge. The Cathedral had a large Greenhouse with scented Geraniums you could purchase... in scents of Roses, and Licorice, and other scents.... just to enjoy the beauty of the Geranium flower Petals and the scent also. Nature is amazing. Even wild violets are lovely. hugs, Pat

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

this is spectacular. A perfect drscriptions of why spring is my favorite season

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Dale... I adore your love of Spring.
Some years ago, I learned that the Snow in Winter “ensures” that there will be enough moisture in the ground to produce a flowering Spring of great Beauty... so I always think of Snow that way. Thank you for your kind review. It has been Spring weather for a few days and suddenly last night it became extremely cold without the Sun, and quite a Wind in the tall Pine trees around our two-story home by the Rappahannock River. Such is Life. gently, Pat

[Coyote Poetry]

Wonderful and kind words written dear Pat.
"Where flowers bloom... so does hope" and forgiveness... "
I agree with the great writer. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

dear John... yes, “Lady Bird Johnson” was our “First Lady” when President Johnson served in the White House. She lived and promoted flower gardens and was very gracious and kind. My poem is a Prayer that is needed during these “trying times”. Thank you for your 💕 lovely review. tenderly, Pat

[Coyote Poetry]

You did well dear Pat. A wonderful poem.

[Patricia Wedel]

Robins and Cherry Blossoms are predicted...
where healing of the Heart and Soul gives Hope for
love and forgiveness. A Prayer rendered. gently, Pat
