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

Mmmm I like this - reminding me of some of the gardens at Oxford in the distant Summers of the Late 70s - 'History is now and England'.

Lavender is special and I cannot imagine a pleasant space without the sweet smell and eye appeal of fresh cut flowers.

A wonderful poem shared dear Chris.

I loved the above lines and a flower filled field of lavender. Next week in Michigan. The lavender festival will happen. I always try to go to. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.

Hello dear Chris. I will on the fifth of June. I hope you are doing well and staying safe.

Ms. Shaw I sure wish I knew how to paint because your descriptions are so divine with this scene I can see myself wandering thru these fields. I really love that last line...if it echoes what we share here then maybe dreams become reality. I wonder what he would have replied to this. Such a lovely poem lady, thank you for sharing.
