Echoes Of Lavender

(a revamped poem)

mist rises as newly birthed disc

of sun kisses easterly horizon's cheek

promising heightened heat on a 

sultry summer day

clouds like chariots fly past at rapid

speed in a part blue sapphire sky

hurtling on a journey to certain

dissipation

we walk waist high through scented

spikes of  fragrant purple lavender

alive with a charm of worker bees

buzzing busily at the seams

he asks me if this is a touch of heaven

I don't know I replied though when I

die if it echoes what we share here

then maybe dreams become reality

dear Chris... another Summer is fading into Autumn... and still your poem has touched my heart... our Crepe Myrtle is in full bloom and the colours stir our emotions. A kiss of Hibiscus will be a way to survive until God gives us Spring. Winter has its Beauty with silhouettes of bygone days. Another Year to Pray... Amen.. Pat

[Chris Shaw]

Dear Pat, so pleased you enjoyed my echoes of lavender poem. I do not know what a Creoe Myrtle is, so I will have to look it up. Always pleased to receive such poetic responses from your the flourish of your pen. All good wishes,

Chris

you have quite a few older beauties floating about the back pages
This was one and an enjoyable read especially with continual days of rain here hammering down any flower brave enough to still take a peek
Have a lovely evening

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you Dave. I appreciate you wandering through my old writes and finding some lavender. Sorry to hear about your rain. We have had a sunny spell and quite mild with it. All set for change though. Temperature drop for next week. Keep well and happy.

Love your creative imagery here. Reminds me of when I am in the garden & I end up smelling like rosemary or lavender after brushing up against it while watering! (((HUGS)))

[Chris Shaw]

What a combination of scents. Rosemary and lavender both wonderful. Have both in my garden too. Thanks for checking this one out Margie.

So lovely and heavenly and nature it actually reminds me of classical music the different instruments Mozart Bach Hayden Beethoven it relaxes
me and Mozart helps me
focus.

I'm doing better

I was healing
from my biopsy
but I'm doing much
better my pain isn't
