Karen's Lovely Landscape of Dreams: for klassy lassy

Missing image





Lingering within fertile fields,

she tucks an elegant seed

into accepting soil

and whispers,

"Grow, child of sunlight".

Her eloquence stuns the stars

as they hover

over her gentle world

of wild wisdom.

Her laughter stops storms

in their tracks,

eliciting rainbows

with a crook of her fragile fingers.

She will not acknowledge

the length or strength

of her tender touch

upon encountered souls ~

does she even understand

her ferocious beauty,

her torrential truth?

Roots stretch silently

beneath this hallowed ground

where she softly walks,

waiting for the right moment

to burst into bloom

within her embracing eyes...











Author notes








Feel better soon, Sweetie...

    She will not acknowledge the length or strength of her tender touch upon encountered souls ~ where she softly walks, waiting for the right moment to burst into bloom within her embracing eyes...

    yet understandably it is difficult to acknowledge infinite length and strength beyond innate modesty

    Beautiful and true

    This is the Karen I know, who whispers to us all,
    "Grow, child of sunlight".
    You have captured her lovely character in a few concise stanzas. Terrific lines, Wanda, everyone will applaud this.

    Ovations!

    Unspeakably precious dreamscape...

    Where my heart breaks, the crevices ache for such windflowers to root in hallowed ground--to fill every dream of sunlight with petals pealing their sacred songs into the evergreen gardens of soul. Wanda, You are a Child of Sunlight... My shoes are off in the meadows of your words...in pure wonder.

    Much love to you, Sweet Reflections of Hope. You have opened the floodgates and the dam burst! Any crook in my fragile old fingers is happy to unravel ribbons of rainbows and find you there. What a gift you are! Such love! ~ Karen

    "Grow, child of sunlight".

    "waiting for the right moment
    to burst into bloom
    within her embracing eyes..."

    Beautiful poetry from the pen of beautiful woman to another beautiful one. She is indeed a "child of sunlight" and I have felt her warmth and her light so very often. I love you both and I'm honoured to call you and Karen my friends. This poem will definately grow and bloom in her eyes and her heart, Vlindertjie.

    ~ Nicolette
