... be.witching ...

By NikesRain

fir lined and moss graced
leading to willows soft
swaying to starlit songs
there remain small glintings
like shifting sun dropped shimmerings
down hollows 'neath boughs
between the nightshade and ivy
among the belladonna nodding


she reclines among sleeping comfrey
with breaths shallow
in broken elegance
inhaling wisteria
as the day turns velvet
fitting her pieces
in intricate mosaics
that pulse with lost melodies


eyes whispering to the moon
through quiet cloud waltzings
swans floating across the night
while datura spin kisses
made from the wishes of woodruff
dew drops suspended
within the sigh of fireflies
slipping in soft smiling


she is blessed
in the most magic of ways
surrounded in gifts
that daylight tends to shadow

    The last line really made the piece. Quite beautiful. I like all the plants you mentioned.

    You are either a botanist or florist. Very interesting euphemism about flowers growing on a grave, but I could be wrong. Thanks and so soothing.

    nothing to do with graves at all but interesting take all the same
