Blossom

Thoughts .....

The blossom on the trees … a passing moment in time

Heralding Spring and the brightness of Summer yet to come

But fleeting ….

As the blustery wind cast it to the four corners of the earth..

Pink and white .. glistening in the early morning mist ..

Taking its colour to brighten the ground with a mosaic of laughter

Fleeting pleasure .. as our lives can be…

But we must hold that pleasure … entrust it to our heart..

And as the winds of change blow and tear at our soul…

Remember the blossom .. see the beauty .. feel the gentleness

Enjoy …

Have faith in our lives .. and the world ….

wonderfully expressed and reminds me it's time to do some gardening again. That final line is one we could all do with being reminded of every day!

Great Write.

Are your thoughts really as delicate and peaceful as your poems? Nice write.

Beautiful... a hearty salute to the winds of change... sometimes tearing at our soul, other times refreshing... very nice.

That is such a coincidence as I was only talking about the winds of change myself today... This piece just echoes all that I am feeling right now, its like you took the words out of my mouth! The winds of change can also be bringing new positive things of course. I like this gentle reminder to have hope, faith and trust. Thank you.

Totally positive and totally in keeping with the time of year. You remind me of a poem I wrote a while back while sitting underneath a cherry tree in blossom in a St.Albans park one morning, watching people walking their dogs and chatting. The odd bit of blossom fell on the poem as I wrote. Ach!

So your a glass half full kinda guy....I like that. To accept the world for all it's ugliness but to choose to see only beauty--is an enlightened way of thinking. Not all have digested this philosophy but soon I hope there to be a revolution...one where people realize that choice surrounds us...divides or unites us. Having faith in ourselves that's only the first step.....having faith in others is our hurdle.......great write-thanks for sharing.

So beautifully written. At this time it is easy to relate to the word painting as the flowering trees are suddenly in bloom, struggling against the weather and winds. Beautifully put to symbolise the struggles in blessed moments and challenges in relationships. Well done! Your sensitive heart and soul sings.

Beautiful, hopeful and inspiring...Spring is my favorite time of year and you capture it's essence so very well here - great job Phil!

[Sally Edwards]

Beautiful Phil, such sweet tender words, shucks what is it about your poems that makes me shed salty tears, still at least time they are joyful tears, you have captured the beauty of the blossom so wonderfully, it makes me glad to be here. Isn't nature amazing, and I love your thoughts in the last part of the poem
