lilies

Garden Chronicles

Sturdy blooms of honeysuckle, horseradish, lilies

Layered her encyclopedic memory

A youthful lithe of treasured stories

The composition of a Bahamian rhapsody

-

Smell Seven sisters, Dracaena, Angel Trumpet  sweet perfume

Bromeliad pots unabashed wipe

The expectant joy of sapodilla in season sweetly bloom

Papaya and breadfruit not yet ripe

-

Wine stain of sweet mulberries

Her brittle vine wring with taste

Incomparable pleasure appease

Revel in springs quiet chaste

-

Chosing Thoughts

Have you looked forward to the prospect of something and it did not materialize?   Well, my Lily did not produce a flower this Easter. In the midst of my disappointment there are recurring thoughts of the many beautiful strings of lilies that are strung in my associations.

I pray that you are not daunted by your unfulfilled expectations but your passion will inspire you to produce no matter your displeasure.
