The Early Purple Orchid

A robin puffed its red breast

and sang for the joy of the day, while

down below a glorious sight.

—-

It stood tall, admiring the view,

sparkling waters and sun caressed

bluebells.

—-

Its flowers opening to the ever-present bees,

and deep in the earth the bulb, which died

to give it birth is renewed.

Slender stemmed it sways in the breeze,

cheered by the sight of the many more

cerise orchid blooms.

—–

Pyramids of  beauteous petals,

shine amidst fading violets and growing grass,

watched over by a song in the golden gorse.

margins are a great place sometimes because it is where change happens fastest but it is also a horrible place when we are stuck in them and grace is the moment when we can see that someone cares.
