Poem & Image by Wendy Norman (Seafarrwide)
Wind whistles through the trees
Soft steps swish wet grass
Daffodils strewn along the path
Flashes of yellow shimmering
Striking a cord with the living
Some flopping their petals
Against the prickly nettles
Others twirling and dancing in the breeze
Creation’s wand a glorious simplicity
A golden visual symphony
Breeze ripples over the lake
Rustling ducks in hazardous wake
Birds of prey swept out of trees
Their shadows creep over me
Seeking stray animals to snare
Natures power swept through my hair
A poet’s pen dripped vibrant ink
In shadows of the aqua sink
Flashing thoughts cross my eyes
Remembering why I am alive
Stirring whirls of creativity
Surrounded by such vibrant company
Thoughts sift through my sullen mood
What makes the bliss of my solitude
Energy renewed my heart does fill
As I dance with the daffodils
