I Cherish |

I Cherish Stars sparkle in a heavenly meadow; wildflowers abloom in the night. While the moon is a bright lemon yellow, 'tis a moonflower shining bright. The cilantro scent of the prairie grass, and tangerine sunlight of dawn; Sienna embers of burning ash and the gracefulness of a fawn. A robins feather drifting in the breeze; thus bejewelled wings of butterflies. The moonlight sailing upon the blue seas while a white trumpeter swan cries. Each heartbeat is but a nightingale song, Cherishing little things as life goes on. ~Victoria~ |

Ah . . . THIS is just exquisite, Victoria . . . quote: Such a heartfelt, wonderful poem about nature and how it affects us who are inside its beauty. The closing line, "Cherishing little things as life goes on." was FAN-tas-tic! ~*~ If they give you ruled paper write sideways . . . ~*~ |

Delightful poem! This poem is a written painting. Man years ago I worked for city utilities often at night. Some of the most beautiful scenes I saw occured in the night. |

Wonderful write! And like Jerry, loved the "The cilantro scent of the prairie grass". Lived in Southwestern Desert country for a number of years, and miss the smell of the prairies . . . j. |
