Meadow

A meadow of winged monarchs
and bloomed out purple
withered upright
faded to periwinkle iris

I would bed with such color
bogged and drowning green
breezed with wild rose

Listened stream of riffled rocks
I am song too

In the dew of little things,
the heart finds its morning
and is refreshed.
(ee cummings)

Martie's BACK!!!
and she brought me BUTTERFLIES!!!!
Missed you sweets.




I'm going crazy, I'm losing sleep.
I'm in too far, I'm in way too deep over you.
You'll always be the one.
You were the first, you'll be the last.

Martie: I can just imagine how frustrating it was to open that camera to nothing... but your words provide us with pictures and do so beautifully. *S* Missed you much! *S*
