In the garden of yesterday
light is as fragile as a dream,
dawn the far distance of stars
and night plays softly on cello strings.

There flowers are made of fragments
stained glass in violet light
grass remembers green
as the dust of autumn wheat.

Hear the sad song of poppies
soothing sorrows on the wind
shadows that wander as haunted shapes
drawn by invisible hands.

Stars are eyes of the abandoned
hiding in the blindness of night
awaiting in their final hour
the still moment of consolation.

Rain is the rhyme of my yesterdays
written on pages of sand
that flows as a river journeys
into the mysteries of the sea.

This is my world, my garden,
where I touch cold stones and I climb
through silk threads creating the illusion
I'm still a part of your world.

into the lost mystery of the sea.

It is so lovely, I wish I could write like this.

HiJennifer~

I enjoyed the soft imagery of this piece ...~

Only one teensy-weensy little thing (because you seek)-

'Hear the sad song of poppies
soothing sorrows on the wind
shadows that wonder as haunted shapes
drawn by invisible hands.'


Wondering if you intended wander ?

Yep, I did. Thanks so much, Marge, I'll go back and correct that.  

Got any new forms for us to take a shot at? Trying the rictameter was a lot of fun.
