miss


in heavenly blue colours
the explanations
sink and dissapear

beneath my feet
the asphalt is glittering
like a million pieces of mirror

and I am looking into
the land of longing
how you are planting the lotus flowers
and how the silkworms
in the mullberry tree
are spinning
a thousand thousand meters
of silk thread

and the sorrow of the swallow's
awaken my being

Dear Jayne Chloe How

Dear Jayne Chloe How wonderful it must be to have mullberry trees growing in the garden. I think they are very special and I have heard that the japanese long bows that I find so beautiful are made of mullberry tree. Miss is a poem for my best friend Nina who had to go to heaven some years ago.. I miss her all the time... Love to you and thank you so much for reading my poems. o molly

Wonderful

I have missed your words. Always fresh, youthful, vivid and I am sure I can always smell the sweet scents you do. And I am sure your friend can too. Thank you Molly. Love to you and yours. Lyz. XX

Thank You so much dear

Thank You so much dear Lyz. We have had so much snow this winter and it has been an adventure. Today we had the first day of Spring with sunshine and warm winds and nothing is more lovely than to see the first snowdrops coming up where the snow just left, I think it is my absolute favourite flower so beautiful white and with neck bent. Love to you. o molly

Nature's victory over urbanity???

Yes let traipse away from the gravelled concrete and tarmac and parade into to the field to find the heart and soul of the world! Superb wording here Molly, I think "beneath my feet the asphalt is glittering like a million pieces of mirror" is favourite line I could almost wriggle my bare toes against the rough surface with such amazing descriptives! I also loved the natural visuals as well with Lotus flowers (love those!), mulberry trees and those magical silkworms who spin their dreamwebs and yarn across the globe... and here you capture the world so well Moilly... with a grace and charm you tangle our hearts to take away the visions of towering skyscrapers and cement ed foundations... to make the fabric of the world so touchable, so you can reach out even in a hotel room and touch those woodland and gardenesque things... you bring the world alive and show us where we should and must go! Fantastic feeling and written flow to get you dancing like the leaves on all the evergreen trees! Just wonderful! Dale :)
