Visions On A Sunflower Drive An apprentice who knows by the eye and the worth To build by the hand, and plant seed in the earth Shaping a legacy from the oak or the flower That I might see over your shoulder to tower In the swift scent of spring, moods condense in review And all heaven holds dear, sure to shine upon you So much of your muse, the sunflower sways Of warm summer bronze and bright yellow ways Spirits rise up to greet coming or go Holding their ranks as the summer winds blow Compressed fisted soil, texture weighted in hand As assessed and installed by design, on command Just as I have been pressed between thoughtful and pace Given merit, some honor, certain mercy and grace Sown and covered with care, and promised to smile Face upturned to the sky in applied flower style Baking seed on the bloom in a banquet resplend All along welcome mat from the street to the end Pleasing all that would travel or wander within On a sunflower drive, where the weeds are kept thin Copyright Kkh 5/31/06 |

When I read what you write, I smile because you can write just about anything your heart desires, and do it well. |

Kathleen~ 'So much of your muse, the sunflower sways' I'm just gonna feed these words right back to you as a supreme compliment to the enjoyment you give us~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |
