What does the lone sentry wildflower not know, keeping vigil at an unvisited stream?
Perhaps you imagine
I treasure nothing
Those seemly longlost times
But my lungs move just so
My eyes rest like this
Your soft smoothes my lunch
A rhythm not completely mine
Enjoins me these tiny forevers
I welcome your chronic infection
Disclosed in the escaping moment
Some odd unspecial future Thursday…

Lovely words, Stolzy!
I love the flower picture. I believe it’s great that your childhood was blessed with flowers like these, I rarely see such beauties around my home town.
Thanks for sharing and have a great Sunday! ☀️
yes, it was a fortunate thing to grow up in kind of a rural area… to be fair, I had to do a good bit of walking first to get to a spot like the one with the cardinal flower. I’m sure Romania must have some wild lovelt places.
Thanks so much, Katherine, for your reading, thoughts, and wishes 🙂
Yes, it was an awesome time. Romania is amazing and has some incredible natural wonders.
My pleasure! 😊

Isnt it lovely that nature provides beautiful flowers for us to look at our world with awe and wonder. And your poetry provides fascinating beauty too.
Hi Steph 🙂 Yes it sure is. A frequently unnoticed gift. In Quebec now there is a new movement called “No Mowing May”. We simply let grasses and lawns grow undisturbed the entire month. The result is so nice to see. Even my lawn has all sorts of varieties of wildflowers which would have gone unborn because they’d been cut. Not just lovely but also very good for the butterflies and honeybees. Hope you are good!
