Petals of golden light

Be this a bloom of Light... petals call to the miracle of the SUN... 

seeds ever to harvest bloom anew...

Sunflower

Petals of golden light I to perceive

This the majesty of the CREATOR to conceive

What thoughts of love and grace has HE

To bring beauty's array, this flower to be

Seeds of light the center does hold

Within, another flower yet to unfold

Gifts upon our Earth, blooms ever sublime

And touched we are by this endowment divine

THE MASTER GARDENER in loving grace does sow

A behest in celebration of the sun's light and glow.

'Tis Love...

'Tis Love...

An array of flowers each its own blessed story
Blooms of color God's grace in loving glory
A Rose with petals, a velvet caress
A Sunflower holding light and happiness
An Iris with drama and mystery
A Daisy with joyful frivolity
'Tis earth and beauty that lovingly meet
Such delicate splendor and fragrance sweet
A flower within be it of perpetual grace
Within chambers of heart 'tis love to place.

Artistry in Communication... 

The words of a Poet Laureate, Rose Marie Raccioppi, and the masterful eye of photographer, Muhammad Zaki, from New York to India, from India to New York, all in devoted expression. Here we are, each engaged in shared moments of Creation... each born decades apart, each living distances apart... this the majesty of loving intention... the ONE in manifestation. Ours, a tribute to the Sunflower... this the light, the bloom, the beauty in soulful gratitude.

Flower of the SON... the child of Light... ever the seedling of Love... SUNFLOWER

Flower of the SON... the child of Light... ever the seedling of Love...

SUNFLOWER...

Petals of golden light I to perceive
This the majesty of the CREATOR to conceive

What thoughts of love and grace has HE
To bring beauty's array, this flower to be
Seeds of light the center does hold

And touched we are by this endowment divine
THE MASTER GARDENER in loving grace does sow
A behest in celebration of the sun's light and glow.

Blessed Flower All

an array of flowers each its own blessed story
blooms of color God's grace in glory
I a Rose with petals a velvet caress
I a Sunflower holding light and happiness
I an Iris with drama and mystery
I a Daisy with joyful frivolity
'tis earth and heaven to lovingly meet
such delicate splendor and fragrance sweet
and I a flower of perpetual bloom
know I the glory of morning the delight of noon
and when the day a night to fall
I a blessed flower all.

Sunflower Gifted To Me

The sun and moon I do see
In this sunflower gifted to me
Stars and galaxies be they too shown
Within your petaled universe all is known
Bloom ablaze with shimmering light of gold
Within each seed the Creator's story told.
