Reawakening

Inspired by sweet Divya for dazzling me with her butterfly kisses.

If you listen

          attentively,

you can hear

          flowers blossom

the lovely sounds 

            of rebirth in spring zephyrs

scent of wildflowers

          in the cool night's air

inhale the new horizons

           of renewal

revive your senses,

                 indulge in sensation

         flutterby's will tickle your fancy

                    and ignite your glow

dawdle down the path 

                 of lazy hazy lovely views

 rejoice in the essence

                  of life's wonderment

Stop and pick a posy,

watch it grow

           count the gift of each petal

         gather the kindness of it's melody, 

pass it along 

               with your innermost song

So tender and warm, like the spring day that you are Frieda. As I read your poems, I do count the gift of each petal. They are like beautiful blooms to me, their fragrance enchants me, their beauty lures me and their message grow forever with me. Frieda, you are a bloom and I am happy to count the gift of each and every petal you shed for us.

This is so lovely, it's like a bouquet of flowers in a review, I thank you kindly, and you know this means a lot coming from you, thanks Jack.

March is almost here...and I can almost hear spring...

[Frieda P]

Sorry, still laughing from your last remark...thanks Marie!

This piece reminded me that I haven't done enough listening these days...another example of that ability of yours to alternate angst and serenity with seeming effortlessness...reading this was looking like a snapshot of Spring amid the backdrop of today's Winter...a very therapeutic piece ;)

[Frieda P]

Sometimes you're just so sweet, when you're awake that is....thanks muchly my dear friend ;-)

[kublakhan27]

Well I can't say I'm "wide" awake today by any means but I am awake enough to find the beauty in this one ;) Always my pleasure Frieda :)

my innermost song is humming spring...

but i am listening to what's outside right now...and i am hearing a gentle tapping of snowflakes landing on the ground...3 days straight now...oddly spring is fighting them off, because there is no accumulation...and right now the harder the fall, the more they melt.

beautiful poem...as i watch what is happening outside, i will surely keep your poem inside...with hope.

[Frieda P]

I've had quite enough winter and snow also, keep humming spring...thanks jacob!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

okay, i will...now how does that song go again? :)

[Frieda P]

poem in your pocket, song in your heart, ya know...wasn't that Frost? ;-P

[Blue Ivory]

Your words have an intoxicating effect. I really like poems describing serenity like this. Beautiful!

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much Siren.

[DIVYA]

I am searching for words! No wait I can't think of any!
This poetry is almost hypnotic in it's call to worship the bountiful beauty and allure of nature.
"If you listen
attentively,
you can hear
flowers blossom" - Such tuning...I lost myself in that lush wild garden.

"Stop and pick a posy,
watch it grow
count the gift of each petal" - Awesome, in a word.

I can picture the butterflies forming a canopy now..all the way from you to me!
That girl is very pretty too :)

If I had known you would write so stunningly, I would have sent those butterfly kisses sooner!

Thank you dear, wonderful friend! You moved me to tears today!

Hugs!

[Frieda P]

Woo, you started it dear, with your butterflies that put a huge smile on my face earlier, so pat yourself on the back sweet Divya. Love your words, thanks so much... Squishys!

[DIVYA]

[khalid]

i think you have been describing yourself here...such beauty images with sweet lovely nature with those flowers all around and each of them has its own essence..i think that beauty applies on how you look from your inside..

[Frieda P]

Flattery will get you everywhere khalid, thanks so much! ;-)
