petals made of love
by Jeff Flesch, Monthly Contributor

I sit atop the river delta, wondering about
the scene
it is a
myriad
in-between
the light
casting off
in the distance
playing with the
stars in the sky, sheltering the moon in a
blanket disguised
I rise, and
make my way down, as the cavern comes
close
always
looking up, noticing the
moons love
sheltering this planets’ stone rose
as gold shimmers the enclaves, and wonder
tries to escape me,
holding
tight
I rely on
that inner-guide,
realizing mistakes made
clearing the way to play
in the dazzling night, you, me, and the trees,
fill the earth with
doves
and
petals
made of love

An angelic scene that ends with petals made of love. 🌹 I want to visit this place! I am certain I heard harps playing when I read this. 💖 One is never alone when the inner-guide leads the way. ✨ Lovely phrases and imagery, Jeff.
