Dahlias of delicate intimate feelings

our passions lie in intermission...

Dahlias are flowers of inner strength and creativity 

with dignity stand strong to sacred values... 

Thirst for rain and sunshine, they become a 

venue of hope and prayers for worldly cares... 

We hold a Rainbow in our heart that beats a 

Lullaby to stars at night that when morning 

breaks with lavender tones of sunlight... 

there will be a new and brighter day when 

people pray in Cathedrals on Easter Day.

A new & brighter day . . . for this we all must pray. Sacred space inside or out . . . the LOVE of Jesus is what it's all about! As I read, seeing your photo in my peripheral vision, I was thinking how this flower is so bright & tall & strong & demanding of attention, like how magnetic it would be to be near Jesus & feel the way He pulls our attention. I can imagine the storms battering down all the other foliage, but this flower is so resilient, it rises after the storm to continue being a beacon. Your allegory is entrancing! Here's hoping for an Easter weekend that marks a change in the tides, a softening of the strife & some stretches of bliss for you & yours! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

dear darling Margie... what an endearing review. I actually discover Dahlias about ten year ago. The history of it's origin is fascinating, if you get a chance to google Dahlias. Of course the tall White Lillies are often seen at Easter. However, just like with people, it is not so much how tall you stand, it is the Spirit that is strong. I was inspired to pen this poem when I was looking for an Easter flower at Lowe's to Celebrate Easter Sunday. I chose a Dahlia that has about six buds that will bloom as the sun stirs their emotions with a bit of rain... the perfect prayer flower as the days go by. The color I have now in my yard is the exact color combination as in the Photo.
Lovely to hear you speak of Jesus. There are actually people who live on this earth who are as generous and forgiving as when Jesus spoke the Beatitudes in older days. It would be amazing if we witnessed a change of Tides... a softening of the strife. May your Easter be blessed with bird songs and heavenly happenings. with love and prayers, Pat

"We hold a Rainbow in our heart that beats a

Lullaby to stars at night that when morning

breaks with lavender tones of sunlight..."

there will be a new and brighter day

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Sami... our world is unfolding slowly after being like a Rose ravaged by a Virus that has has threatened our lives and taken lives. The only thing not affected so harshly is the blooming of Spring. It is encouraging that Our Earth has survived in many ways to at least give us hope for the future. Thanks for stopping by. Be safe and well. gently, Pat

[Sami Khalil]

All true and well said. You are welcome...

[Ruth]

Incredibly beautiful and lovely to read you today Patricia :) Such decadence made my heart smile...

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Ruth... I do write with extravagant feelings at times. I endeavor to see the beauty and strength in flowers... I imagine them dancing or having tears with feelings... I suppose we can do that in a poetic way. Dahlias are extraordinary ...
I just noticed today that three of the little buds held by the large Dahlia in full bloom..
had themselves bloomed today. Thank you for your generosity. fondly, Pat

[Sami Khalil]

Steady and strong with open arms for prayers. I like how you link the natural with the spiritual. May you dance like them in the fields of eternal glory. May The Great Spirit keeps us energized with with His limitless spirit, power and knowledge in all.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Sami... thank you for your wishes for strength and guidance. The sunshine is constant and rain showers us with blessings. May your day be sprinkled with heavens 💕 love. gently, Pat

[Sami Khalil]

May it be as you become one with The One. You are welcome.

[Patricia Wedel]

I need to do just that; sometimes we are at a loss of how to help our own children. My son is confused with all the Politicsof our Nation. I realize that I need to take this to our Father in Heaven... hallowed be his Name; there are times when all the diplomacy we can muster is not enough. Please pray for my son Robert. He does not understand when I ask him...
"do you want our Country to be a Communist Country?" So many people do not understand that that could happen. Sami, do you know any "Magical Words? It seems the Radical faction is leading the younger minds to a different way of thinking. I will take this to the Lord in Prayer. truly, Pat

[Sami Khalil]

You got it. You are welcome...

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Sami... it was only yesterday on April 24 that God significantly made a difference.. in my son’s attitude.. it is a beginning. Thank you for your prayers. Amazing Grace... how sweet it is. truly, Pat

[Sami Khalil]

[Patricia Wedel]

Sami... have you heard the song “Pretty Amazing Grace” by Neil Diamond? The song is so beautiful and pure poetry. I believe he wrote the words. truly, Pat

[Sami Khalil]

He is a wonderful singer, song writer. Long live The Diamonds and diamond...

[Robert Trakofler]

No intermission in your passionate heart dear Patricia:)
Not when you pen something like this!!!! a new dawn will come... we must just be patient and smart

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Smart Bunny... love the expressions like “Intermission” in poetry. Yes, I tend to not take a breath ... going from line to line.
I am still taking walks when the weather permits in the fresh Air. Today the Sun is bright with an azure blue sky and white fluffy clouds with hints of grey storm clouds who think they are silver linings, but not. There is a breeze, but I will stay in my string Cowgirl 👢 Boots. Keep the Faith and we will continue to grow and learn for. Many more seasons. Thank you for your gracious review. truly, Pat

[Patricia Wedel]

correction: I will stay in my Strong cowgirl boots ... Pat

[Einstein Noodle]

well done ..a fine tribute to dahlias and strong uplifting spirit in your words .. i love it! especially am moved by the "Lullaby to stars..." and your "...lavender tones of sunlight" .. you move me Pat! well done .. things are better already says i!

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest E... I have moved my Dahlia up to our front porch in a pretty blue marble-like Pot. We are having so much rain, but the sun is out every other day. The Dahlia smiles with its wee buds held close. We may have a reprieve from the Virus; but still we need to heal withe the lavender sunrise blessings. May the stars twinkle just for you and flowers bloom for Norma too. Be blessed with morning dew. gently, Pat

[Einstein Noodle]

thank you so much Pat ... such a beautiful blessing ... which i gracefully accept :))))))))))

[Jimmy Yetts]

Lyrically lovely sentiments.
A much-to-be-admired poetic creation.
Nicely done, Patricia!

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Jimmy... we face an uncertain world where answers are hidden from our view. We can only grow in spirit, mind and body... while the scientists and
great physicians ponder the remedy. We pray to our Heavenly Father, who in infinite wisdom and mercy will create a path to Riches of mind, body and soul. Amen... Thank you for your touch of healing grace. gently, Pat

[Jimmy Yetts]

Thank you, Pat, for your inspired words.

[Pete]

you write with the beauty of a bouquet and the strength of the truth it exhibits. wonderful ending. there is hope and faith in your words. the almighty certainly knew what he was doing when he created flowers ... :)

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Pete... we are in the Throes of turmoil and grief. We are helpless, except for the belief that
"God helps those who help themselves". We all have a responsibility to have the Wisdom to be aware of appropriate solutions of applying Physics and Medicine in order to survive. "Cleanliness is next to Godliness. Each Country needs to check their ways of protecting Food and eliminating foods that would be susceptible to disease. At the same time, we need a World Order that will guarantee that these Guidelines be followed; otherwise we will all perish. Choosing our Leaders is one of the best ways to enforce good practices to eliminate disease. God bless and keep us in the Grace of God. Amen... Pat

[Pete]

amen ... :)

[Betty Hermelee]

A Lovely poem with vivid images...flows nicely too. Unfortunately, we can't gather together as we crave right now; soon I hope. The Dahlia is a symbol of strength which we all need now, nicely written . fondly, Betty

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Betty... I appreciate your endearing review.
It is important to alleviate stress by gathering flowers and feel their healing powers. One of our esteemed doctors has recently said that we need to be positive and try to not become depressed, as we would not have the resistance to fight the CoronaVirus. That is why I try to be uplifting when I write. truly, Pat

[Betty Hermelee]

Uplifting is very important in these dark times, thanks, Betty
