I've been hanging out a lot in the garden lately! My good friend, Sherry(her other name is Wise Toad,not Old) challenged me to a poetry prompt. Here is Sherry's prompt: Old Toad's challenge was rather all-encompassing: "Ella, " she croaked, "write a poem based on a quote, that is meaningful to you. It should touch upon your wish to follow your art, as far as it will lead you." Then Old Toad fell over onto her lily pad, for a little snooze.
Stop over and visit the garden, to see how my journey went. Serendipity is a clue ;D
I will share the results, of the quote. You have to visit the garden, if you want to know more.
Do you listen? Do you follow your heart and the signs that nature gives you? Do you?

Evening walk
enveloped in solitude
gray thoughts spiraling
serenaded in blue
chilled, you look up to heaven's theater
a falling star make her debut
do you listen?
A dove glides her tilted wings
towards spring's silver threaded light
a bleached white feather
flutters to your feet
do you listen?
Fair eyed daisies sway in meadow's brow
four leaf clover peers at you
it bows and nods
a brisk shower
washes earth clean
watercolor view rises
do you listen?
Along a pebbled beach
a rare pink shell glistens in the
bay's blue tidal pool
it's tangled in seaweed
and tiny snails
do you listen?
Maple leaf stretches to bask in glory
red passion reaches for gold
her dismount twirls
in graceful flair
she lands
upright
a
tiny
heart shape
exposed
do you listen?
Pristine cold lace falls gently
on your lashes
iridescent geometry
6 sided perfection
no two
are
alike
do you listen?
Listen to your grace
the strings
of your heart
being
tugged
being
tugged
open
the
sacred door
to
your
divine gifts
the
hymn
of
you
will
play
When you listen~
