Dry tears, kiss, sing,
as Queen of Beauty lives life’s obligation to wild love,
a whisper on the wind –
wilting into a lover’s promises.
Sordid streams no longer in Camelot’s blood,
death of a lion or birth of a cub,
joyful bird, beast content in its lair,
pleasures of today’s diary as
melancholic moments have hearts of happiness.
Among crying crops, while blood runs in river red,
dwell in the beauty of joy, in Merlin’s wise words,
learn something new, stop sadness blue.

You offer a lot of simple ideas to put yourself on the road from sadness. I like the Arthurian overtones of this. Outside of Disney's family oriented version, Merlin always struck me as a rather character. It seemed that everything he touched turned to stone. Ah well, sometimes one must suffer for their art...

I am left still after reading this marvel. Your artwork is always phenomenal.
Among crying crops
Learn something new...
There are lessons in all things and I guess that is what truly helps us to move forward. Magical steps waved from Merlin's wand.
I have been a recipient of such magic....
Excellence here my friend. ~Pamela
