Waiting winters passing: Patiently the lily buds lay Sleeping in their tuber-beds; 'longside in slumber Tulip-lips (in bulbs), await Kisses, warm and wet to wake Them when the prince of spring Come making; calling signs of courtier. (Like poets that sit in dark And wait, day-break; Their muse to meet as suitor.) * Not a solid sound , be sure, vibrates; Silent is the light of magic stars Dripping from a wizards wand, Falling spells, cast from invisible Realms of metaphysical Over beds, of sleeping florets; Rising words that hide inside Dark-forests of the human mind, Are field released into the sun By Merlin's dancing faes, who Un-tie ropes that choke and bind, Fertile words bound in the poets mind * Spell chant... Breathe deep in shower or sun Cloud shade dark or sunset, Night or morning ; cupped hands call soft flowers, from their bind of shells And raze the prisons, holding words; Release the cargo ships of prose, Tied up at mental moorings. * Desire is key to help the spell release, The hidden urge to break the earths crust, Helps to please the eye, with what Was hidden in the seed; Of words held deep in minds of human Beings..Why this need? I ask, from where, For what, are we compelled the same To bring some beauty hidden deep in-dark And hark them into light, forever to remain? (Like flowers) Be they perfect...be they maimed? |

This came to mind of me yesterday. I live in a cold part of the USA and their is snow on the ground today, cold winds and ice. ...... But in the middle of all this cold as I walked around the yard are two little noses of the daffodil trying to peek out and say hello. Each year I find this amazing and beautiful. Good poem. Love Bon-Bon  |

Desire is key to help the spell release, The hidden urge to break the earths crust, Helps to please the eye, with what Was hidden in the seed; Of words held deep in minds of human Beings..Why this need? I ask, from where, i wait too for those first popping heads of the yellow flowers  your words are lovely |

 (does happy dance) Awwwwwwwww, this poem made my heart smile, sweet friend, I just know all the baby daffodils and orchids are just waiting to bloom so much saying, "Mommy, mommy, can I go out to play now, pretty please?" and the bulbs say, "Just a little bit longer, dear, until then, dream of the honeybees and butterflies!"! (smiles) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is precious, I'm saving this in my angel library, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ford, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "You'll find something that's enough to keep you |

Grover Thank you for the high grade... * Bonnie j Yes, the daffodils are the hardy sort that challenge winter...They come up early here also, but they seem to never freeze (like one would suspect, when the temp goes down to ten..) Thanks for the reply * inke The first to show yellow here in northern Pa. is the colts foot...I can't wait to see them prancing up wet hill sides...Thanks for the nice comment.. * Noah You put such beautiful comments in replies...They are like little animations , actors and stage props..thanks for this one.... * Enchantress Merlin and faes have always intrigued me, I fit both into poems whenever it calls for their presense..They are the ones that tell me what image should come from the words in poesm such as this...Thank you for reading and your nice comments... * Shadows Wow! "treasure" is a word that will spike the ego....Thank you....glad you enjoyed |
