Sunny Flowers
Joy is seeing
sunshine’s reflection
in Mother Nature’s flowers.
-Gail Sobotkin
One little flower
Nods in the delicate breeze
As the crickets hum
-Jeanine DeJesus
“Silently a flower blooms,
In silence it falls away;
Yet here now, at this moment, at this place,
The world of the flower, the whole of
the world is blooming.
This is the talk of the flower, the truth
of the blossom:
The glory of eternal life is fully shining here.”
-Zenkei Shibayama
“You love the roses – so do I. I wish
The sky would rain down roses, as they rain
From off the shaken bush. Why will it not?
Then all the valley would be pink and white
And soft to tread on. They would fall as light
As feathers, smelling sweet; and it would be
Like sleeping and like waking, all at once!”
-George Eliot, Roses
