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
