Flower..

September 28, 2008 Elaine-


I am a kind word uttered and repeated

By the voice of Nature;

I am a star fallen from the

Blue tent upon the green carpet.

I am the daughter of the elements

With whom Winter conceived;

To whom Spring gave birth; I was

Reared in the lap of Summer and I

Slept in the bed of Autumn.

I drink dew for wine, and hearken to

The voices of the birds, and dance

To the rhythmic swaying of the grass.

I am the lover’s gift; I am the wedding wreath;

I am the memory of a moment of happiness;

I am the last gift of the living to the dead;

I am a part of joy and a part of sorrow.

But I look up high to see only the light,

And never look down to see my shadow.

This is wisdom which man must learn.

– Khalil Gibran

    I like this, nice cool colors. The whole picture gives me a calm and relaxing feeling. Like, just dropping into a bed of blue and white flowers and let your thoughts drift while laying there… A very nice picture, well taken.

    Cool! I think they’re called Hydrangea or commonly hortensia, although not sure. Lovely 🙂
