TODAY'S FLOWERS ~ Clematis

High up in my shade-house, my lovely magenta Clematis

flowers regardless of the heat and dry,

of attacks by locusts,

it sets seed

and blooms anew, now that is resilience!

Thoughts of Spring

Please enlarge for best effect.

In springtime green the grasses grow

the rain falls soft, the rivers flow

the farmer starts his seed to sow

and life begins both high and low

The little creatures stir and wake

life starts anew in brook and lake

the song of bird by day is heard

though turtle utters not a word

The frog song nightly rising high
to fill the space twixt eath and sky

as with the morning sun at dawn,
the seasons' round goes on and on.
