The Poetry of Flowers
Flowers Bring Peace
Flowers bring peace into a room.
A posy or a single bloom- can dispel a restless
mood
An atmosphere of quietude- haunts the place
where flowers are.
You forget the things that jar.
So still they stand in vase or bowl.
Their silence speaks unto the soul.
Day by day now autumn comes- beautiful
chrsysanthemums- bring proud summer to its close.
Heedless of the fading rose- rich and deep their
colours blaze.
Season of the mellow days-as chrysanthemums
unfold- wine and amber,bronze and gold.
From a blue jug by my chair-they watch me
and I am aware- of their beauty blessing me-
with their own tranquility.
Who comes within this calming spell-
cannot doubt that all is well.
written by Patience Strong ( pen name of Winifred Emma, UK poet, 1907-1990)
