Yellow Gold
Finally, my muse pulled me out of self-imposed exile and took me far away into the large fields of sunflowers. Thousands of smiles greeted me, as I watched with glee, my heart woke up to embrace positivity floating in the air. Each yellow petal – a panacea for grieving hearts; a pertinent reminder of joy; a paragon of light that reignites the urge to live.
childhood charm rebounds
petal games we loved to play –
innocent pleasure.
little knowing the value
of golden glow that’s divine.

Thank you for your lovely words Miriam, I hope you are good. I am not seeing any of your posts or am I missing something?
You didn’t miss anything, Balroop! We were busy with the grandkids all summer. The younger grandkid goes to preschool but we help to watch the older one. A lot of driving, preparing things for her to do to cut down the screen time…
What an amazing view! Great share
So beautiful Balroop 💜
