Lilacs and Apples

Lilacs sweet and pungent smell
Came up the cup my wishing well
Odor sweet that swept the night
And lit a wick of candlelight.

Rode the breeze and woke the leaves
And touched upon my face and sleeves
And turned the skies to colored Oz
To bring me back to things that was.

Somewhere on the yellow brick road
And I pushed away the dreams implode
Awaits for me my Eden’s lair
My love, my dove, my princess fair

I pressed the dream of circumstance
Alive and well but in a trance
And came upon an apple tree
Where I became an appellee.

And since the grail has gone to ground
I walk upon, forever’s round.

Appellee, One against whom an appeal is taken

"And came upon an apple tree

Clever you. And you are just so huggable.



And this one even smelled heavenly.

Mornin' sighs, sy!

Youre the apple of my eye ...

Oh what a way to start my day with this lovely!!
My my...there are mornings you take my breath away...
sweep me off my feet and hand me an apple!!
Love this dear Seymour...
Perhaps a slice of tart red apple with your tea?
Maybe we had better wait and see what my sister brings you.
~Morning hugs, Nancy~

~The breeze that kissed you on the face,
    Has held me in the same embrace~

Nancy,
You
Are the apple of my eye.
What would I do without your tea and sympathy?
