+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+ Pansies lift showy faces, Of gold and purple hues, Smiling at the passersby, With greetings of enthuse.
The roses give so warmly, Of their beauty and their love, To all who come to view them, In this Eden Up Above.
Lilies line river valleys, Wee bells ring heaven's blues, Lilacs scent whispering breezes, With their delicate infuse.
Shimmering floral fairies, Fly among the flowers bright, Filled with grace and glory, In God's Garden full of Light. +*+*+*+*+*+*+*+

that verse is just so lovely, lovely Linda, your muse has returned with its eloquent grace. Well done angel poetess. I would love to live as a river flows, carried by the surprise of its own unfolding.

(does happy dance) Yay! See, your muse is very dedicated to bringing your heart the most gorgeous visions as always, and she's right on time back from her vacation, yay! (kiss on cheek) Oooohhh...I posted this new poem yesterday I bet you'd love, it's called Neptune retrograde, yay, my Mistletoe Cherub muse inspired it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!
May love and light always shine upon you!
Love, Noah Eaton

See sweet Earthy one, she's back after a refreshing trip to Florida to hang out with Marge's Many Muses ... (might have learned a poetic trick or two) I think it was the scenic route she took ... ya' think ?

Naked One ~
God bless you! No one would ever point a finger at you for that! Your garden may have been neglected, but your sister, most assuredly, was not...You have been thru' so much, Dear M.
The weeds in your garden will eventually wither away, and in time, will be replaced with new and vibrant floral life.
Loving, understanding hugs, Linda

Ah, those fairies work all kinds of magic and mystery. I didn't know your muse was on vacation but she has come back rested and writing as beautifully as always.

Margie Girl ~
Merry, my muse, says that you and all your many muses amused her ~ and treated her like family! Perhaps too much so! ~ She wants to go visit you all again ~ and often! Oh, Dearie Me!
On her behalf, I thank you for your hospitality! ~ and I very much appreciate the fine blue ink of yours that you sent back with her for my pen! That is soooo like you to share the wealth!
With lots of love and affection, Marge's Little Earthy One

Marti ~
What a pleasant surprise to hear from you, this warm summer's evening! Are you more settled in now! It's so much fun exploring your new environs, is it not?!? I'm discovering something new every day!
Yes, Merry was on "vacation" in Marge's inkwell down in Florida! ~ But she's back and is telling me lots of interesting stories about Poetessa Marge and her little minion muses! You wouldn't believe what I learned! There's some kind of poetic magic happenings going on at Rancho Margero's! lol
As one who writes so beautifully of the faery kingdom herself, it pleases me that my poem pleased you!
Sending you flowers and fairy dust,
Loveyoulotsuknow! Linda

Oh, my! You know exactly where I want to be now, don't you -- there's an old gospel song (that's a hint). Well, if you haven't figured it out, "Down by the Riverside." Loved this vision, Linda! ....jo

I do recall the melody to that gospel song, but the only lyrics that I can remember (if my memory serves me correctly) are, "Gonna lay down my sword and shield, down by the riverside".
May your Path in Life be through God's Gardens!

Kristen, where on God's green Earth have you been??? Well, at least you're back now ~ and hopefully safe and sound!
It kind of makes me feel all "warm and fuzzy" knowing that that is how my poem has made you feel! ~ and I thank you for that as well!
Wonderful to hear from you again!
I'll be looking out for your poetic pennings!
Loves 'n hugs, Linda
