Rhythms of Peace

Rich red shooting drops

of curvy flutes.

Splendid puffs of ivory,

tangled heads, infused

with hearts of deepest

green.Smiling faces shyly peak

from lilac-splashed petals,

half-curled in sleepy snooze.Feathered spikes of

soft-pink heather

pointing upwards to

the sky.Stripped-bare bells

of bluebell splendour,

standing upright, tall

and proud.Smudged blue sky in

shrouded calm, aglow

with yawning sun’s

first rays.Splattered clouds in

winding trails of

puffy lines, caressing

dawn’s fresh dewy eyes. Awakened souls embraced

by beauty of fine nature’s

warm array.Raising shadows,

lifting fears –

stroking with the vision

of this wondrous,

bright displayfloating on rhythms of peace.
