*

Red tulips whisper
a warm welcome.
The candle is lit,
its flame dances
to our breath.
Shadows and light
perform
a magical play
on the wall.
Time stops
while life is lived.
The candle consumes
itself in tears
of deep devotion.
The flame’s last flicker
meets the tulips’ gaze.
Eyes wide open now,
they tell a story of
merging souls,
of burning candles
and of love.

(smiles) Awwwwwwwww, I've always seen tulips as flowers of happiness because they can bloom so early before spring and cheer everyone up, yay! (does happy spring dance) God Bless You, sweet friend, this deeply brought a smile to my heart, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Margherita, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

You know, m'dear, as I clicked into this poem, a lovely little fluid flute came playing over the radio, and just seemed to make your tulips dance...

Coincidence?

or *magic*?
