I started working on this piece several years ago, but I could never get it quite right. Then, my dad passed away and the words just came to me. I’m honored to have it featured by The Short of It.

I see a budding bloom
I see a budding bloom
wafting in the breeze
Its petals beckon to the bees
like the newly wedded groom
I see a budding bloom
Gazing towards the trees
a blossom hopes to please
Like the new bride’s swoon
I see a budding bloom
Night comes in like a tease
And the flower feels unease
But under the light of the rising moon
I see a budding bloom

I was inspire by this image and dverse poets ballata poetry form challenge. I’m not sure if I like my finished product, but it was a fun challenge! Thanks!
the beauty of uncertainty
for a moment pause
in quiet uncertainty
on a path unknown

momentarily
my eyes
contemplating you
in the garden of my mind
my eyes on your skin
