~* Periwinkle Sonota *~  Reaching for the sky, The tendrils of ivy and morning glory outside the open window Dance wildly in the zephyr’s murmur Like crinkled cellophane breaking the silence of this Long humid night.  My accute expectations of grandeur Have long ago stolen my sleep. Gazing off into the distance Through the haze on the horizon I can see , hear, and feel Million of stretching fingertips from arms of maple, oak, birch Sassafras, and wispy wisteria. In unison they play their notes. They are such sweet soul sighs to the sound of a million violins, Awakening my very soul. This God given harmony Is dawn’s lullaby to awaken The softness of a new morning wind.  Ever so softly a periwinkle sonata So delicately composed Echoes its shrill high notes Through wisteria, lupines, Peonies, and cosmos, Then so lightly it whispers its lows To the bouquets of impatience, pansies, And the damp earth’s blanket Whose loose threads dance and sway in the breeze. Before the first light falls This soothing song flows on Tendrils winding and curving, Swishing in its sassy whispered sway.  Suddenly the sun-kissed zephyr stops. It caresses a solitary tender, pink rosebud. So tenderly it kisses the petals Of her dew dripped velvet eyelashes Quivering quite coquettishly in silent wait of sun to bloom On this glorious and miraculous new day. ~* For These Gifts I Give Thanks *~ [This message has been edited by Mysteria (07-11-2003 09:41 AM).] |

Exquisite! This is one of the most beautiful pieces you've gifted us! I'm keeping it, and whenever I need a bountiful bouquet, I can bring this back into my field of vision. |

The only thing wrong with these posies is that they can't join you on your shopping sprees... other than that, a more than delightful poem! |

Sharon, it would have been a real shame if I had missed this beautiful post of yours. Your poetry was mellifluous, lyrical, magical...and the floral images, divine! Thank you for this lovely oasis!  Linda |

a wonderfully lovely song, Mysteria the pics delightful, the tender melody of a floral medly is exquisite I do think you mean "impatiens" rather than impatience though. Only mentioning to be helpful. Hope you don't mind. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

Oh Sharon, this is so charming and so Cape Cod. It felt so restful which I'm hoping means you are in slo-motion and enjoying your time with Nan. Sensational pictures; I especlially loved the wisteria. Hugs dear friend, Marti Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts. A.Einstein |

You are all so wonderful taking the time to share a hot, and humid night with me. It actually was a rustle of leaves that woke me and it kind of "blossomed" from there at about midnight. I wish I could thank each of you individually but I just returned from a B-52 concert "without air-conditioning" and was jumping around like a 16 year old for an hour and a half at least, someone get my geritol will ya? I am dying a slow death now from pain  just kidding, but zonked and had to see if anyone read this - so thank you all so much and I think you are going to enjoy our next poem (pssst - it is in Mature Content LOL) after this weekend's visit to Provincetown. Thanks again! |

Million of stretching fingertips from arms of maple, oak, birch Sassafras, and wispy wisteria. In unison they play their notes. They are such sweet soul sighs to the sound of a million violins, So like the wispy wisteria, Mysteria, you're writing is such a pretty sight to behold. Thank you for sharing the beauty in poetry and friendship, and entwining every facet so gloriously. Many many hugs for you~ |
