#DailyFlowers
Times are changing, that's for sure. Whether for better or worse still needs to be assessed; but they are a changing and that causes restlessness... and we need something that will anchor us and keep us safe and sane... Mother Nature has performed remarkably on that front this year, well ever since this blog was started and today too she shares her gems for us to savor.
But protests, Covid and other issues do press on....
Well, Sai came back after quite some time:
Sai, the framer is back
His kind of framing we cannot hack
A glorious magenta makes its way
Maybe the crowning glory of the day
Shashi has reverted to travels for flowers: #DailyFlowers from a wedding in Piura, Peru last year
'Tis the season for weddings
For bestowing couple blessings
Flowers add to the glory of the day
With their beauty and fragrance light everyone's way
Vivek and Shalini to nurseries went: These were vying for my attention on a visit to a nursery and got it! Good morning
Flowers vying for Vivek's attention
He did have to that mention
But those colors have me in thrall
When did i last see them, cannot recall
From Shalini ...and this one at the nursery I went to :-D You mostly see the red Celosia everywhere, this yellow was a surprise.
Nursery visits are up and running
Methinks people are going only for the sunning
Meeting flowers or taking them home
Is an addition to the initial reason to roam
Today...
Flowers have gone missing..
Perhaps somewhere else they are dishing
Their love and care
Glory, color, vibrancy that they share
Or maybe @shashib forgot to them attach
And sent the tweet before they could properly it catch
The flower that smiles today
To-morrow dies;
All that we wish to stay
Tempts and then flies.
What is this world’s delight?
Lightning that mocks the night,
Brief even as bright.

Life is ephemeral
But connections and memories eternal
Loss is hard, especially unnatural
When death conspires to make the unwary its collateral
Do mourn the loss my friend
But the memories will stay strong and never bend
A bud reluctant to unfurl
Because of the dewdrops that on it curl
We should be as welcoming as they
Greet all we meet on life's way
They are also well versed performers
Sharing their depths and their art
Sneaking into all our hearts
Endurance and fortitude say Roses
Whether rain or shine on them imposes
They stand testament to strength and power
A humbling lesson even as they grace and mercy shower
Offered without flowery verses
When man jobs reverses
Upon nature's beauteous shows
Playing with colors, changing their flows
