flowers in her eyes

i was biking home the other day
and these words
came through my mind.

so i wrote them down.

~

flowers in her eyes
petals for dreams
the lights of the fireflies
the whispers of streams

  2. How do you do it Steven? Lovely cascade of words. And this painting of Sargent captures Spring, Summer,evening magic, childhood, and fairyland all in one image. One of my favorites.

  7. Very British for some reason and very beautiful, Steven. For some reason this thought comes to me.

    Here in Australia we might talk about different images of beauty and they'd be more rugged, I imagine.

  11. Interesting steven. For some reason it conjured Ariel's song "Full fathom five.." from The Tempest for me, though obviously the mood is completely different.

  12. sweet words to come unbidden. it seems to me that your mind is always receptive to pictures and words and being the nice chap you are, you pass them on to us. Thank you, steven.
