the pretty white flowers
become luminous ~
shining like ghostly figures
against the curve
where I place my feet
shaped
in different corners of the sky
and I sway in thought
never quite sure
which is the reflection...

This is glorious, I felt the shift of the moon with this beauty, you outshine all others sweet sister. Best to you in the contest

This made me smile. How utterly beautiful, soft, and tender with the awakening awareness of life within.
A gentle and quite special poem and I thank you kindly for sharing it in my contest. Delightful. ~Pamela
