At rainbow’s edge
deeper than dawn’s iron light
sweeter than sideswiping dominoes falling
Silence is
and distance and measure are nothing
Kiss unfolding bloom from the night
Dark lies forever shattered and tattered
The smiling fragrance of your while
purer than sorrow that worries as
thoughts of tomorrow

My Blog primarily consists of close-up nature photos (that I've taken locally) combined with original holistic-truth oriented prose and/or poetry involving mindfulness/awareness. I love nature and I love understanding the whole (not merely the parts and the details). I'm a retired teacher of the multiply handicapped.
I have a number of interesting hobbies, such as fossil collecting, sport-kite flying, 3D and 2D close-up photography, holography, and pets. Most of all, I am into holistic self-awareness, spontaneous insight, unconventional observation/direct perception, mindfulness, meditation, world peace, non-fragmentation, population control, vegetarianism, and green energy.

Pure beauty!!!
An honor when it’s a reply given by a true flower expert! 🙂
Wow Tom! I wish I could have your magical way with words 💐
Wonderful post!
Thanks much, Belinda… as were your’s lately! 🙂
Lovely evocative poem and beautiful colour to the roses. 🙂
Thank you, Scifi! 🙂 This pic, of course, was taken earlier than this snowy and freezing winter we are having.
haha Yes I realise. Never mind, spring must be on the way . . .
For whatever reason, the presence of an insect on a bloom always makes me smile — so thanks for the smile, today.
Me too! Bugs on blooms = nature growing! 🙂
Bravo Tom! Good one today. Thanks
Much appreciated, Jim! 🙂
Very nice. Short and sweet.
Thank you, Francis! Keep those fish happy and thriving! I’ve been doing a lot of aquarium stuff in my retirement! 🙂
Very loving and moving, Thomas and the rose fits perfectly, have a nice day, regards Mitza
Thanks much, Mitza!
I told Tweetie, yesterday morning when i was filling their bowls with fruit and veggies, that if she ate everything she would get a sunflower seed treat. In the evening, i looked into the bowl; she ate everything. It was the first time she ever ate everything. She got the extra treat! 🙂
I have something common with Tweetie: I always eat evrything up:))
Awesome post Tom! I enjoyed reading it. What a beautiful photo of that rose to complement it! 🙂
Very appreciative of that, Kim! 🙂 It was taken when the weather was warmer. Now it’s very icy cold outdoors!
Oh you’re welcome Tom. Listen, it’s photos like those that you pull out in the type of winter blasts we’re having to remind you of how much we truly appreciate spring and summer! LOL Cheers! 🙂
