Day 340 - Mauve Memories

They used to only hold majesty
On the throne of Mother Nature, the queen
Lavender lives in a field so misty
Bits of magic living, never before seen
But by the fairies who decorate evenings
In the light of the Moon's cautious sliver
That calls upon the cricket that sings
Of her reign as the ultimate giver
Of mysterious moments locked far away
Within the eyes of ox-eyed Hera, so fair
Laced inside the words that Don Juan would say
Even in the pond that caught Narcissus' stare
Yes, the memories sweet mauves call upon
Bring up emotions of the rarest kind
Over which all of mankind is known to fawn
On which the wickedest spells, bind
Oh, Mother Nature how we revere you
With all of the wonders you reveal to be true

Day 259 - Sunflower Fields

Fold memories into golden petals of happiness
On a stem deeper than any buried emerald
Perfect joy that you remember from playing in fields
Laughing between stalks high above your head
Daddy running behind you to at last sweep you up
Into his arms and spin you around in glee
You wonder aloud "when will I grow so big?"
And your laughing Mommy trails behind promising
"Much too soon, my fairy princess."

It turns out she is right and now you stare at the flower
Sitting on your doorstep from your perfect crush
Who has been whispering sweet nothings into your ear
Long enough to show that he feels it in his heart
The secret message that your childhood bloom holds
The gold will shade your new fairy princess dress
For when he sweeps you up into his arms
There may not be a field of tall green stalks
But then again not every fairy tale needs them

Day 141 - Center of the Universe

The center of the universe meets here
Bursting in dark yellow pistils of hope
Petals brushing far too near
Like the lips of lovers who elope
Bouquets of brilliant white take the aisle
As the bride treads across in style
The veil hiding her excited eyes
Lighting upon her tuxedo-clad prize
It all begins in this universe's center
Beckoning the hope of love to enter

Day 132 - Kitchen Flowers


Life is rich and colorful
Watching as those around us grow
We grow ever more wonderful
Sprouting all that we know

Love swirls in aromas everywhere
That leads us up into the light
Water is poured with gentle care
So that we bloom happy and bright

Outside we learn from the other plants
Who truly experience the sun
In the trees' shadow a promise of romance
One that has only barely begun

We watch and we wait for more stories to tell
That will bloom out of our petals
For now though we hear a tinkling bell
And the whistling of excited kettles
