Blossom

Thoughts .....

The blossom on the trees … a passing moment in time

Heralding Spring and the brightness of Summer yet to come

But fleeting ….

As the blustery wind cast it to the four corners of the earth..

Pink and white .. glistening in the early morning mist ..

Taking its colour to brighten the ground with a mosaic of laughter

Fleeting pleasure .. as our lives can be…

But we must hold that pleasure … entrust it to our heart..

And as the winds of change blow and tear at our soul…

Remember the blossom .. see the beauty .. feel the gentleness

Enjoy …

Have faith in our lives .. and the world ….

"Fleeting pleasure .. as our lives can be�
But we must hold that pleasure � entrust it to our heart..
And as the winds of change blow and tear at our soul�
Remember the blossom .. see the beauty .. feel the gentleness
Enjoy �
Have faith in our lives .. and the world �."
I want to imbibe this so much...........
Great work as usual !

Spring and summer, so beautiful, so fleeting and yet they return each year bring love and new life. They are a reliable constant in an every changing world when all that is left is faith.

Keep keeping the faith Phil

Well done

I like the way you mentioned Summer and Spring as fleeting things. Then mirror that with life. Life is so short thaty we have to make the most of it. Love life Faith Hope are all elements that make our lifes what they are. Life is a rich tapastry of meetings and emotions and we are sowers in to that . I also believe we are born for such a time as this and we have been blessed with the gift of words that others may read and be inspired to pick up their pen. and it is that which makes being a poet/ writer such a high calling. as they old saying goes with much power their is much responsabilitiy

Honey, I love the way this piece is written .... it pushes formal boundaries and works wonderfully.

Your descriptions also have me stunned: Taking its colour to brighten the ground with a mosaic of laughter

Something different from you, that I have read anyways....and about damn time! Great job! Very visual!

Your words are so smooth. Like silk.
I find if I'm having a rough day, all I need is a cup of coffee and the slow, filling warmth of your words.
It so wonderful that you share your world with us.
Every time I come away from reading your writings I feel better.
I pay attention to sunrises. Sunsets. Crickets.
You make me enjoy life.
Thank you!

Hold the pleasure and entrust it to your heart..If we look at nature and all of its power and majesty, it has the worlds best paintings there for all of us to see if we only open our eyes..Be it a flower or the budddung leaves or the wind whistling..There is so much to see, feel and enjoy..God bless..Valentine
