She Knows

How does she know?
How know the flowers I love best
are daffodil and morning glory,
nasturtium and columbine,
the gentle ones, and yet
the very flowers that can
live wild or grace a quiet lawn?

How does she know
I care about these things,
admire a flower’s personality,
the livingness of it beyond
the sky blue eye blue frills,
the thousand yellows
parading on spring hills,
even the whites and purples
hiding in a summer wood?

She knows that these
are part of me, and really,
does it matter how?

It doesn't matter 'how' she knows...
but rather 'that' she knows.
Beautiful RF.
Hugs~

    In the midst of winter..
I found there lives within me,
    an invincible summer.

Is spring that close
that minds will visit minds
and plant thoughts
so well?

This is beautiful!

It doesn't matter how she knows... but... she knows

Wonderful James

This one is tender. I should expect that from you, in fact I do. You never disappoint me.

Jamie, this is so sweet and loving. And,
this........

She knows that these
are part of me, and really,
does it matter how?


My Honey-love just "knows", too...
and it really doesn't matter how he knows.

Sometimes the mechanics don't matter at all... so it is with love and miracles. *S*

This is absolutely beautiful, my friend... yes! *S* And I like your flower choices! LOL
