You’re welcome, Anagha. Incidentally, I saw your note yesterday about the unwanted messages you’ve been receiving. I’m so sorry. It’s absolutely awful that so many women seem to be bombarded with these messages. Again, I am so, so sorry.
Lovely how this poem about flowers captures so much of what we experienced during the pandemic. I think of Emily Dickenson—“tell all the truth but tell it slant.”
Depths of night fragrance. Petals open mouth catch the sun. Release of spirit and sleep another day before the clouds of rust settle down to return to the ground.
Enlightenment continues with your journey through life.
Lovely! I watch for your poems every week. Thanks.

Oh thank you for this Thomas! It is really awful and upsetting, but your support and kindness warms my heart.
Lovely, delicate connections - flowers, sleep, bodies...
Thank you!
Wow, Anagha. What a gorgeous poem. I loved "if love exists, maybe it is like this; an unfurling
that takes place in silence."
Thank you Ash! Thanks for dropping a comment.
I clicked in on this as I heard an ambulance rushing by my windows.
The flowers outlive us, we outlive the flowers. It's the circle and the cycle of life.
Exactly 💜 thanks for reading Elizabeth
