Some Roses

for my lovely daughter

Some roses are so lovely

they see you smile…

 

petals dance

                on a lullaby

the joy of a songbird’s melody

high up in the trees

 

As graceful as the wind stirring your hair

weaving golden threads to catch the beauty of the day

             the light that is you

 

First in my love, my strength, my happiness….

 

In times of struggle, I look to you as I would an indigo dream

of endless skies and warm spring days

and birds that sing with lifted voice

 

as poetry finds my heart again

 

and I think

some roses are so lovely

Even before I got to the line that mentions it, I was hearing birds chirping and seeing the plants and flowers gently sway in the breeze.
This is why poetry exists, to fully convey feelings bursting from a heart.
I'm sure these words will be a future treasure to that child, all grown.
Beautifully penned.

When you are in love, everything is more beautiful. Everything is a bit more velvety and the inspiration to write just sort of flows. I am so glad it has found you again, Julie. This is so soft and gentle. Tres romantique! Lydi**

I like this. It conjured some very pleasant imagery for me and evoked some wonderful feelings. I especially love the term "indigo dream." Beautiful. Thank you.

An interesting subject. Not reviewed for a while and enjoyed this first read. Some lovely imagery, especially as Roses are one of my favorite flowers.
