There was a fuschia bud lying on the ground in the garden on the art ministry garden the other day so it inspired me to write this little poem….you see if you take a flower you can press it between the leaves of a book and it can be used to make a picture and then it will last forever…like true love…
This beautiful fuchsia Lies here
On the path
It’s colours near faded
But they shine
Against the concrete
Don’t tread on it
Take it
In your hands
And treasure it
A broken bud
That can be nurtured
And pressed
Between leaves
To make a picture
Still
Not in bloom
But still there
Of what it could have been
Had it stayed
On the stem still living
It will stay for ever
Pressed and dried
Rather than wilt and die
Take it your hand
Hold it forever
In your heart…

I became interested in poetry about a year ago and try to write about things from my heart that are associated with events in my life or events going on in the World at large or closer to home. I am a visual artist and still am to a certain extent having exhibited some of my work as a visually impaired artist using sponges to paint. I have lost most of my eyesight in recent years to advanced glaucoma and my vision is now very limited I am finding my creativity now evolving in writing poetry and hope to publish my own book of verse in the future. I have a blog page on Wordpress where I share my poetry, art, photography, thoughts and favourite quotes and prayers at https://rosypoems.com
