Lots of poetry to share with you today and I’ve decided to include two apophysis pics for you as well!

// slipping softly in / through open window flowing / o’er the bed ~ a breeze //     (haiku)

What if
I sing
a song for you
to lull you
off to sleep?

Suppose
I write
a verse for you
a poem
you can keep.

Perhaps
I’ll paint
a scene for you
of trees
of grass and sheep.

Perchance
I’ll touch
your gentle heart
with love
that’s ever deep.

That’s all for this week, Dear Ones! Enjoy the rest of your day and be sure to create amazing days ahead … after all, you are worth it!

In Light and Laughter,

Marcia
