Through The Mist Of Time

Cherry

Recalling in moments of silence

the clarity of nature's balance...

where rhythms most fragile are

born in spring,

 

deep rooted in time, repeated

miracles curious for summer

feast, describing symbols that

lure me to the past.

 

Set my imagination to the sky,

pondering birds...their hunger

instincts beneath folds of grass,

garden's promise of sustenance.

 

Bees have taken flight, quivering

wings have flirted with blossom,

regardless of bitter winds, with no

respite – Queen their saving grace.

 

My location in simplicity traces path

where motivation gives thought to new

ideas – yet old aspirations through mist

of time always return.

So lovely to see you're well enough to write something new Jenny, and this is a wonderful welcome to Spring - well done!

Hi insert,

It's great to be inspired to write again, I've missed it so much.

I'll be going in for the Lung Biopsy on Thursday, so I'm hoping everything goes well and they find out what the problem is with my chest.

Many thanks for reading and I'm glad you liked. 

The cherries were very much appreciated too. Thank you.

Jenny.

Very dreamy. You sound more relaxed. Spring's changes come so silently, surprisingly, bit by bit don't they, but progress onward,even though the temperature seems to fluctuate. A lovely time of year, so much to watch out for. Rhiannon

Hi Rhiannon,

the weather has been perfect, a bit like the Goldilocks affect, not too hot and not too cold...well for me anyway.

You should have seen the bees buzzing around our blossom tree, you could hear the sound from quite a distance it was so loud. But the blossom's over now.

I'm still coughing when lying down, it's not too bad during the day, but as soon as the evening comes, it starts up again.

But now I'm going for the lung biopsy on Thursday, I hope they'll work out what the problem is and give me some sort of antibiotic or anything to get rid of whatever it is I've got.

It's nice the poem resonated with you and thank you so much for letting  me know.

Jenny.

This is BEAUTIFUL, Jenny, fabulous lines in every part! I love "repeated miracles" and "set my imagination to the sky" and your description of brave bees :0) Shows how huge your poetic ability, that you can write such gorgeous words when feeling so tired, I really hope Thursday brings you a solution. Will be thinking of you. Wishing you good nights' sleep xx
