There was a mystery
To their madness.
An uncanny sense of
Doom.
But she did not flail
Afraid
In darkness,
Whilst she could spot a petal
Bloom.
Instead, she watched
With rapt intention
As life suffused
Their eerie
Gloom.

Like how you’ve tied this in to the crocus, a wonderful of spring, so often at a time of darkened skies

Na’ama Y’karah,
You are the flower child lately. I love all your photos. (Might even paint one one of these days. 😉 ) It’s uncanny what you did with the word. ❤
Shalom,

Thanks, my friend! (I’m remiss on FF this week but am still holding hope I’ll get to it before the next one …). Aren’t the flowers absolutely magnificent????? If there’s one that catches your brush-holding-fingers, let me know. xoxo Na’ama
