Drifting Daisies (Poem)
Drifting daisies never dally
Lingering within love’s alley
Carefree couples there will sally
Holding hands as years of yore
-
Whispered wishes of tomorrow
Far away from fears and sorrow
Secrets from a daisy borrow
Holding hands that yearn for more
-
Daring dreams that do come true
Soulful stars that show the way
Dazzled by how daisies play
Drifting toward our rendezvous
-
Happy heart that hold a notion
Casting kisses cause commotion
On a daisy’s dancing motion
Holding hands as dreams explore
-
Mystic music springs of wonder
Longing lovers set a sunder
Bed which daisies soon fell under
Holding hands as passions sore
-
Daring dreams they do display
Draped in fragrant flowers’ dew
Darling daises shade their view
Drifting through another day
-
Drifting daisies did surrender
To a time which turned so tender
Memories which would not end their
Holding hands and youth restore

This image caught my attention-
"Daring dreams that do come true
Soulful stars that show the way
Dazzled by how daisies play"...
To me, I read we have the yearning of meeting and bridging the unknown with the known; and spirituality with our earthy groundedness.
