Elfchen and Photographs

vermillion

divine color

redder than red

where soulmates melt in

passion

Vermillion

mystical purple --

do flowers seek uncanny

healing in the light?

Shelter

Liberty.

Fundamental right,

Architect of harmony

Wounded by kings but

Steadfast.

Liberty

Heartbeat

An old Legend tells us that flowers and plants

Rise and dance when they hear the calm murmur

Of a snake flute and the sweet melody

Sung by an Indian flower charmer.

Indeed, a foxglove can listen to her,

Spreading its bells upon her prosody.

Apogee

Golden age

Empire in glory

Foundations torn by intrigues

Downfall

Destiny

Daffodils,

yellow harbingers

on barren hills,

smartly flourish when Persephone

thrills

Daffodils
