This is the mystic magic of some mothers and some memories and the power of hibiscus blossoms
I recall the hibiscus blossom -
scarlet as you run to me through
the mist of years -there might as
well be the clear crystal chime
of a bell when you jump into
my open arms and touch me
with a scarlet blossom baby kiss -
I feel the velvet of your cheek
the reaching of dimpled hands
for me - in that time of new bloom
- no threat thrums for any in
this hibiscus- blossom world -
From time to time I cross to
this dream that is not a dream
and once again stand in the
vaccuumed space of time -
sunshined joy spilling...
enough
to last
a life
I feel the velvet of your cheek

Lovely & tender image..!!
This is so very beautiful, Pearl.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely thoughts. We all need a dose of that sunshine joy to last us a lifetime. (I love the pic.)
ReplyDeleteSo very precious those moments... I can clearly see how they last a lifetime...
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. I can relate to the joy of hugging one's child and blossoming like hibiscus.
ReplyDelete"the mist of years" and "sunshined joy spilling"---how beautifully and poignantly you have captured the magic of maternal love :-)
ReplyDeleteHow we yearn for those times when we marveled as how clever we were to create those beautiful children of ours, We ourselves were young and the future stretched out in front of us and life was for living. This took me back so many years and the joy of those times.
ReplyDeleteah the hibiscus brings moments of wonderment and life..
ReplyDeleteI love, "the mist of years." Lovely poem, Pearl.
ReplyDeleteSo satisfying!
ReplyDeleteGreat work of simile and very charming sentiment.
ReplyDeleteI love the magic - and also the marvel of reality - we can time travel..we can look back..treasure..hold..and still move forward..a beautiful poem and i could smell those hibiscus leaves driving us away to our dreams..
