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.

Lovely words Jenny. The golden cherries and the wee green book are well deserved.

I’m sorry I’ve only just seen this but I’m glad you’ve been able to find the strength and inspiration to write. It’s amazing what silent moments in springtime can bring out in us.

Hi Turlough,

I was so surprised when I saw that this was poem of the week. It's always an honour to recieve validation on my work, as in the past I never thought I was a good writer. But I've learned so much from reading on abc tales and so many talented writers like yourself have taught me so much.

Thank you for your kind words and I will be over to read your work too.

Jenny.
