Carpe Diem Weekend Meditation #97: Depth of a Flower


I

 windy weather
calling the flowers by name
each nods

windy weather
inspiring too much thinking 
melancholy thoughts

 calling the flowers by name
the flowers in a graveyard
have names of the lost

 each nods
no fight when the time has come
blowing away home

 II

depth of a flower
flying away with the bee
some mystery

 depth of a flower
what hides deep inside beauty
mystery within

 flying away with the bee
nectar feeds tomorrow's child
hope for the future

 some mystery
can spark curiosity
or can drive one mad

 Jane & Cie

Notes:
The "sleighs" of these two Troiku were created by Jane Reichhold (1937 - 2016). The Six Horses of the Apocalypse escaped from my unstable stables.

    My attention was grabbed by the graveyard flowers with the names of the lost, which brought some tears, Cie, but then my mood was lightened by the thought of the bee taking the nectar to feed tomorrow's child, and the bee as the link between the living and the dead.

      I like that! Butterflies are often thought to have a link between the worlds of the living and the dead. Why not bees?

    Life and death are part of same timeline; flowers become memories.

      My ex-husband had a bit of a snarky saying about life, death, and reincarnation:
      "Life sucks, and then you have another one."

We love comments, with three caveats.
Be cool, Fool.
Don't be rude, Dude.
Don't be a prick, Slick.
That's all, Saul.
I try to get comments published as quickly as possible. I don't always reply to comments on my blog, but I do try to visit as many people as possible when I participate in blog hops and I share links where possible to Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and such so others can discover your work. I do read and appreciate your comments.
