Marilena

4/24/2016

Every bloom is worth waiting for.

Marilena

She grew in the shadows,
This plain beauty,
A flower that was
Most likely ready to blossom.

Or maybe she had already opened up,
And no one noticed. But then
It was difficult to get bright blooms
In the dimness where she was rooted.

Either way, she
Was only
Discovered
When a person of discernment
Ventured down the road
Where she lived and
Noticed the
Glow leaking
From the shadows,
Out of the darkness
Of her cave.

It was then that
Marilena was lifted
Out.

Audio and Author Comment-

I've posted this poem before. It was in the spring then as well. It seems that spring is the time to think about making changes and then maybe acting upon those thoughts, either by lifting our own selves, or by helping someone lift themselves. skp

Art for a New Beginning-

As we think about new beginnings, please allow me again introduce to you Melissa Gannon. I have several pieces of her work and they are all quite delightful. Melissa's paintings, with saturated color, are uniquely engaging and always makes the viewer feel happy and hopeful. To be sure, we all need that in our lives!

To quote Melissa, "My work is impressionistic, spontaneous creation using jewel tone colors and descriptive brush work resulting in a painting that you can not only see but FEEL." I invite you to go to her website and see what you think. www.MelissaGannon.com skp
