Serendipity

July 9, 2018

Imagination’s

great wonder of

escape

catches thoughts

of winter’s joy and beauty

that sparkle of sunshine

in her eyes

Music has a far more

pleasing sound

Listen

to the gentle rain

Colourful wildflowers

waltz a dreamy

rhapsody of love

    Iris, this is a delight to read and lifts my heart! The imagination brings us all sorts of joy, and through this we fully experience life. Your final two lines are wonderfully memorable, so lyrical and powerful.

    ‘waltz a dreamy
    rhapsody of love’

    Brilliant!

    Oh, how I have missed you! I finally returned home After nine month stay in the hospital (and six surgeries). The poem is beautiful and something I deeply identify with. You have transported my imagination to a wonderful place Of music, fragrances, colors, and refreshment for my soul.
