After a storm,
the earth bathed in light,
clouds float in bright skies;
tiger lilies pulse on a breeze.
Lawns humming with mowers,
mountains unfurl royal ribbons,
poplars catch sunrays'
after the storm.
Plants popping up in gardens,
raindrops glitter on grass,
Hyatt-Mill Creek murmurs;
the earth bathed in light.
A time to rejoice,
fog lifts from Brasstown Valley,
the windchimes ringing;
clouds float in bright skies.
By the little river,
a Monarch butterfly
dips down and touches
tiger lilies pulsing on a breeze.

So very beautiful. I enjoy listening to our wind chimes when I am out walking among our flowers. God bless you and your Mom this weekend.
Beautiful flowers and a lovely poem, Brenda! I hope you are enjoying your weekend.
Hi Brenda!
Love the new header and the poem. I loved the entire poem, but, "tiger lilies pulsing on a breeze." caught my ear as it's a very well-turned phrase. Enjoyed the poem.
Have a great Lord's Day!

Lovely poem, Brenda. I could definitely envision it! Thanks for stopping in at CranberryMorning today. I don't have your email address and you appear as a 'no-reply blogger,' so I'm sorry this is the only way I can thank you for stopping in and commenting. - Judy
