~*~

I awoke this morning with the glorious
Scent of lilacs wafting through my
Open bedroom window.
I leapt out of my bed
And ran barefoot into the back yard.
There before me lie the most
Splendiferous sight.
The long-awaited moment had arrived!
While I was sleeping,
Mother Nature had been spinning her magic!
~ The lilacs had burst into bloom!
The variety and vibrancy of colors,
Were beyond description.
Dew drops shone like diamonds
As the early morning light
Kissed the harbingers of spring.
I buried my head into the floral masses,
Inhaling deeply of nature's sweet essence,
And I thanked the Universe
For this little piece of heaven.

I may "look like an angel, walk like an angel, talk like an angel" (Hmmm! Sounds like a song I once knew!)but now you're wise!---I'm the devil in disguise! Oh, yes I am! The devil in disguise!

For this little piece of heaven.


Oh girlfriend, one of my absolute favorite flowers. I have a dwarf in my yard but no flowers as of yet! I can't wait.

This brightened up my day and left me feeling fragrant all over.

Hugs and Laughter my friend, Marti

You are absolutely 100% correct! I have lilac-scented lotions, potions and perfumes. I luxuriate in lilac-scented baths as well. My home is filled with lilacs when they are in bloom and I love to wear lilac-colored clothes! I even burn lilac-scented candles!
I suppose my name should be Linda L. Lilacs!

"Splendiferous" means "magnificent"! It is a word that fits you perfectly, O "Mag"nicent One!

Thank you for dropping by!--and btw, my immune system is very strong and I no longer suffer from allergies as I did as a child. ----Thank you, God! I can bury my head in lilacs! I even put them in my hair!

Love, Light & Lilacs,

(smiles) Yay! Recently too the beautiful flowers have bloomed and I leapt out of my bed quickly like a little boy on Christmas morning screaming "Yay!" and running outside to see them all closer! (kiss on cheek) I can't wait till next month too when all the other flowers bloom like in Alice In Wonderland's song "Golden Afternoon", this is heavenly, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Through your poetry, replies, and emails I feel as though I have gotten to know you--and I can honestly say, I think you are wonderful! You do the rest of the angels proud!
