Lily-of-the-Valley

Such exquisite little flowers with the most heady scent...they take my breath away every year.
My mother used to sing this to me when I was tiny:

White Coral Bells
Upon a slender stalk
Lilies of the valley deck my garden walk
Oh, don't you wish that you might hear them ring?
That will happen only when the fairies sing.

Splash


.



Thoughts imagined,


highlighted appropriately


in a fancy font.


A corner secretly nibbled


from a celebratory cake


before the candles are


even extinguished.




Love slips silently


between shade and


light like the glint


of a tail fin seen


unexpectedly in


a tranquil pool.




Pebbles skim the


surface and we're all


just a hopscotch step


away from the daisy


filled meadows of


the Summerland.
