sweeping the first blooms

It's not the branch but the heart
that grows this morning flower
in its glory, knowing the cauldron
of pink that dominates the newborn grass
will erase itself within days
and the question eternal to those
that have ever dared, to really love

can we truly embrace
of the storm and its refuge
from that dark winter tomb
that now dangles the petals
of those first to rise -
as their voices diminish, now victims
to the broom, on this mourning even before
the green grass might receive them

First off, I love the new "look." Very nice . . . Like the poem Emma, but especially love . . .

hey thanks for stopping by
actually I mistakenly did NOT
ask for the black type
and got stuck in blue which I don't like

Great question in poetic form, always evokes mental stimulation to create pictures from the mind.

true love never looks after it's own interests

Exquisite poem (as always) in every imaginable way - beauty, depth, language, images, joys and sorrows of love, philosophical pondering - an EmmaRose poem par excellence!
