Lavender hibiscus flower glows in the low morning sun.

Accompanied by a poem by
mary angela douglas called

The Rosy Tea Of The Hibiscus Flower

the rosy tea of the hibiscus flower
was poured out in a dream.
wasn't every Spring a dream then

we were in when radiance streamed
through the dusty windows?
and we found violets as if

for the first time.
I will pour hibscus tea from a rosy teapot
till the day I die

it's poetry, isn't it?
sighed the child.
and I smiled, yes...

"Your heart is an
abyss that I'm
lost in forever." ~Thomas Case(poem in alt)

#Stunday #Belladonna #Lily
#FlowerReport #EastCoastKin #SmArtist #photography #photographer
#Art #BloomScrolling #flowers #PhotographersOfBlueSky #FlowersOnBlueSky #PhotographersUnited

A cluster of Belladonna Lilies. Pink and glowing, they are radiant. But they are also deadly. Beauty and the Beast.

Accompanied by a poem by Thomas Case called

Belladona

Everyday that dawns,
you slip away a little more.
The distant stare,
the apathetic eyes.
Your love is as dead
as the roses in
the trash.
Your heart is an
abyss that I'm
lost in forever.
Belladonna drew me in.
The poison kept me there.

"Glow glow into the wilderness my hope
Of yesterdays dreams that are now nowhere"~Peter S. Quinn(Poem in Alt)

#BlueSkyArtShow #Glow #ArtChallenge

#Art #BloomScrolling #flowers #PhotographersOfBlueSky #FlowersOnBlueSky

A glowing Peony ignites its limited view with a glow that mesmerizes. Pinks, golds, and lavenders shine with intensity.
Accompanied by a poem by Peter S. Quinn called

Glow Glow

Glow glow into the wilderness my hope
Of yesterdays dreams that are now nowhere
Only a feeling to come again here
With the new pleasures and beyond cloud's scope
Ways are now going that once were much alive
Into oblivion of no return back
Somewhere in morning new lights arrive
From the fields and the meadows of the black

Bring fire of a hidden deeper meaning
To the mountains mystical in the far
Like blueness of the dreams that come and go
Winds of north forever you're careening
Filling the empty vow of glistening mar
That billows to the shore with its light glow

A decaying tree sits alone in a flooded pond. Though dying it gives life. Perhaps it offers a path to somewhere.

That's amazing. Can you imagine how hot the water would have to be to offset the coldness of the marble? 🥵 🥶

It has always amused me that we reserve some of our most opulent design for the dead. Rose Window in a mausoleum that can only be viewed from a certain area.

Rose window in a mausoleum. Such a beautiful design, and yet it can only be viewed by going inside and looking out.

"Oh wondrous sun,
you melt me with your gazes
this light shinning
brings a day within a day"

A gold marigold flower glows so intensely in the sun.

Accomapnied by a poem by jodde taylor called

Marigold

Oh wondrous sun,
you melt me with your gazes
this light shinning
brings a day within a day
Oh how beauty runs away
with each thought of you
Your touch is a helpless
tomorrow
As I rise just to see you again
You bring every fascination
And beneath you, a burden,
is effortless
Oh the night, waves over me
gently the breeze kisses,
each rising star
How this evenings sight
pours over me
Your golden whistle,
I hear calling me
As I return to you again
The rain shall never sound the same....

"New beginnings and new shoots
Spring again from hidden roots"~Robert Graves(Poem in Alt)

#Marigold #YellowThu #Poetry
#FlowerReport #EastCoastKin #photography #photographer
#Art #BloomScrolling #flowers #PhotographersOfBlueSky #FlowersOnBlueSky #PhotographersUnited

A golden marigold shines in the sun. Accompanied by a poem by Gobert Graves called

Marigolds

With a fork drive Nature out,
She will ever yet return;
Hedge the flowerbed all about,
Pull or stab or cut or burn,
She will ever yet return.

Look: the constant marigold
Springs again from hidden roots.
Baffled gardener, you behold
New beginnings and new shoots
Spring again from hidden roots.
Pull or stab or cut or burn,
They will ever yet return.

Gardener, cursing at the weed,
Ere you curse it further, say:
Who but you planted the seed
In my fertile heart, one day?
Ere you curse me further, say!
New beginnings and new shoots
Spring again from hidden roots.
Pull or stab or cut or burn,
Love must ever yet return.
