Musings on Life, Love, and Linguine-Poetry & Writing
Here in this blossoming space,
I’ve created my own mindscape
where flowers forever bloom and never die
plump honeybees suckle on nature’s essence
white butterflies flutter to spring’s symphony
while emerald trees sparkle against a turquoise sky.
A swift babbling brook plays nature’s music
trickling over Calliope’s stones of songs
worn smooth by the lilting voice of cool rain
traveling far from home, always moving on
bringing essence of life wherever it flows
promising sublime relief to replace all pain.

Lovely idea to create that mindspace of gardens, Linda.
Something in her face reminds me of the Girl with the Pearl Earring. I don’t know why. 🙂
