delicate seed planted
in god's rich earth...
lucky to sprout,
determined to survive...
stalk reaching to sky,
bending to sun,
swaying
to
the
rhythm
of fickle breezes...
bursting forth
with bud,
none too soon
for me...
petals unfolding,
blossom revealing
the rainbows
in my mind...
the musical color
in the depths
of my soul...
"Vous etes mon soleil,
apport de la lumiere
a ma nuit foncee"
Thus, my offering for this week's Centus...prompted by the famous song title, "You are my sunshine." A lovely song, a delightful, swaying melody...one undoubtably sung from many a saddle...please take the time to check out what often prove to be remarkable stories, poetry and such at Jenny Matlock's Saturday Centus. I am now going to check out the last 7 entries from last week...because I should, and because it will give me twice the chance to win Jenny's special prize...and I'm all for prizes ;-)
Very nice! I like the "fickle breezes":@)
