Visiting the majestic Yosemite National Park I took a series of snapshots one after the other. In only one of them taken within milliseconds of each other, was a glimpse of a rainbow. The shots taken immediately before and after had no rainbow at all. #littlemiracle

Scars zigzag across my heart
While another stretches across the surface –
Just one more brush painting shadows
Upon a worn calloused slate
Robbie Williams – Angels
“I sit and wait
Does an angel contemplate my fate
And do they know
The places where we go
When we’re grey and old
‘cos I have been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I’m lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel that love is dead
I’m loving angels instead”
A little seed
Underground
Felt the sun
And began to grow
Roots and stems
And stalks and leaves
The little seed
Became a tree
I opened up
And shared with you
My secrets fell
Upon the floor
But now it’s past
And we are through
I’ll sweep them up
Till there are no more
I spent hours, minutes, days and years
Waiting for a touch of kindness
Love from you
My waiting is over
The need is gone
Time before me
Is mine to fill
Living in my thoughts all day
Sleeping in my dreams at night
Cocooned in a world of self
Struggling to break free
Perhaps there is something
Wrong with me
But I just want to be
Alone at liberty
Under a canopy of golden leaves
A solitary bench highlights the seclusion
Of lovers past and lovers still to be
Poems and petals
Spread their fragrance all around –
Power in their peace
I’ve changed my blog from Passion Through Poetry to Poems and Petals. Because poetry. And petals.
It’s my BFF’s birthday next week, and I’m considering buying her a perfume. Because a woman is not dressed until she has on perfume. Perfumes react differently on different skins, but needs must, I will have to go with a good, safe choice. Any suggestions? Do you have a favorite? Estée Lauder beautiful? D&G light blue? Chanel coco? Chanel no. 5? (And don’t worry she doesn’t read my blog!)
