Frivolity in Bloom

The supernal beauty of a White Dogwood in full bloom

...a Sunday offering...

Frivolity in Bloom 

Flowering Dogwood in splendor of white

 Glistening edges, cast they the light 

Branch and bough in splendor be 

Such be the favor of the Dogwood tree 

Feel I its joy, its frivolity divine 

Such be the gift of Spring and time 

Gentle be the feel of such petals of grace 

Their whispers heard within souls place 

In the morning Sun heed I this benediction of love 

Bloom, beauty, the enfolds of the firmament above.
