Such be the splendor... within the will of beauty...

within the will of beauty each bloom a blessed story

be this God’s grace in presence, truth and sublime glory

hue, texture, petals, vibrant and delicately divine

the gifts of this season, the majestic NOW of time.

June 8, 2019 at the New York Botanical Garden, Bronx, New York.

Emily Dickinson's Garden ~ The Poetry of Flowers

The New York Botanical Garden
I writing in gratitude
to
Emily Dickinson's Poetry of Flowers
~recorded in the guest book~

Yours be the word in celebration
Of each bloom of beauty by Creation
With vision and word do you cast
The meaning of gratitude everlast
Colors and hues of splendor sublime
And known be the Praise of the Divine.
