While winter wailed and bared his teeth,
you withdrew into your shell;
now, the tears that leaked beneath
the earth have come to serve you well.
Each precious seed, an emerald gem,
plants true beauty in your soul;
as they grow, they stitch a hem
of radiance to make you whole.
Meanwhile, Melody Muses... 
Aww… pretty.
Don’t emerald trees grow in your area? 🙂
I think they do!
I enjoyed this one too, my friend.

Thanks Russ! Your presence here is always a blessing.
A lovely gem indeed!
Thanks Rosy! (Imagine how the emerald market will crash when people know I can grow them myself! ) 😉
BEAUTIFUL like you! HAPPY MOTHERS DAY DEAR FRIEND ~ Debbie
Thanks Debbie! Hope your day was special!
It must be such a relief for you to see green again, Melody! I love the lyrical rhythm of this one.
Blessings ~ Wendy
I can’t get enough of it – it’s so slow… but it has begun!
Hurray! Enjoy it, dear friend.
I LOVE “stitch a hem of radiance”–Yes, that’s my kind of formal attire!
Absolutely, Caddo fashion at its finest!
Just don’t forget the sparkly stuff–sequins would be good, I think they’re my fave (hey Mel, are the BIG sequins called “spangles”? This is actually a serious question, as I can’t seem to find the correct term for those large round, loosely sewed on things which catch the light as they move–in a more subtle way than sequins/glitter…)
