Life is full of beauty.
Notice it. Notice the
bumble bee, the small child,
and the smiling faces.
Smell the rain, and
feel the wind. Live
your life to the fullest
potential, and fight
for your dreams.
Ashley Smith
I like
the tiny bird
in the corner
Behind the screen
of the ordinary
can be found
unique and
wonderful things.

This is the back of
the flowers partially
visible above!
Remind me
that all of this,
every bit of it,
is for love.
Keep me fiercely kind.
Laura Jean Truman
Some people,
no matter how old they get,
never lose their beauty -
they merely move it
from their faces
into their hearts.

᭣᭣
At dusk I see
A Rosy Tower,
Blooming blush
In twilit hour.
Rising as the
Shadows cower
Above the hills,
In silent power.
Landscape, dark,
O velvet sea,
Tugging at
The heart of me
Photograph
Of fleeting peace,
Where sun and night
Dance, then release.
Night wings come to flower
Beneath the Rosy Tower.
Branches brush
The cooling air,
Whispering
Beauty everywhere.
Those colors spun
From dusk and gold.
No one can command,
Nor any hold.
This fleeting gift,
The day’s last hour
Retreating
To her Rosy Tower.

Good morning Clοudia,
