The Sweetness of Pink

Gazing up into a vision of pale pink and green

losing myself in a delicious world of  pastel marshmallow shapes

and being enveloped in a wave of pink tenderness.

All was silent save for the distant hum of bees gathering pollen

Vibrant pink azalea were clamouring for attention

pale pink blossom and more vibrant tones play a melody only heard in spring

Fallen blossom, like wedding confetti, drop to the ground

arranging themselves nonchalantly in seeming disarray.

Closing my eyes a moment or two,

just to experience the sheer joy of opening them again

and seeing it all anew...
