Echoes Of Lavender

(a revamped poem)

mist rises as newly birthed disc

of sun kisses easterly horizon's cheek

promising heightened heat on a 

sultry summer day

clouds like chariots fly past at rapid

speed in a part blue sapphire sky

hurtling on a journey to certain

dissipation

we walk waist high through scented

spikes of  fragrant purple lavender

alive with a charm of worker bees

buzzing busily at the seams

he asks me if this is a touch of heaven

I don't know I replied though when I

die if it echoes what we share here

then maybe dreams become reality

dear Chris... another Summer is fading into Autumn... and still your poem has touched my heart... our Crepe Myrtle is in full bloom and the colours stir our emotions. A kiss of Hibiscus will be a way to survive until God gives us Spring. Winter has its Beauty with silhouettes of bygone days. Another Year to Pray... Amen.. Pat

Chris

I saw the title and had to read as I love Lavender. Then, I was glad I read.
Beautifully written. I love the flow.
Nicely done..

Thank you Melinda. I love lavender too, especially when it is waist high and buzzing with bees.

You're welcome.

Sounds like a moment of the past recalled. Chris, I think you could make a fortune writing landscape descriptions for real estate companies. After reading this offering, anyone would want to buy a home in such a location.

[Chris Shaw]

Yes John, it is an older poem reworked. It certainly would be wonderful to live there. As for making a fortune, writing landscape descriptions, sadly time won't permit. I have a very busy family life. I missed the boat there. Thank you so much for your review.

A poignant write, Chris. So romantic to walk through the garden with the one you love, but knowing one of you will leave first. Will dreams become reality in heaven....if indeed there is a heaven. Not sure, but I am sure this poem is touching, Chris.

[Chris Shaw]

That's the big question Lydi**. Is there a heaven? Some think we make our own heaven and hell here on earth. One thing I do know with certainty is the fragrance of lavender is quite divine. Thank you for your lovely review.

This reads like warm silk, and there is such a sense of contentment within your words here. Even if the Heavens don't echo anything back, that moment is still as perfect and blissful as you described.

Good to see you too. Also, I love the title of this poem. It's bright and sunny, and paints happy pictures. Much needed during the present times. Thank you for sharing.

Ha E no idea what you're talking about Chris, as sub tropical Scotland has shaken the clouds from our etch-a-sketchy sky, turned the screen full colour HD and almost meltified my thinkelator in the process.
And as for the scent of lavender, it's just wonderful to smell anything other than soggy dampness.
52 and I just found out that feet don't squelch 😊

[Chris Shaw]

Look after that thinkekator Lorry. Yes it has been scorchio down here. The lavender was a memory from another time though. Wonderful fragrance. Thanks for stopping by.
