Sweet lavender 

. 

Your luminous petals delicate to the touch 

. 

Yet your scent potent enough to leave a mark 

. 

Your slim tall stem arises 

. 

And breaks the minute you're in crisis 

. 

Impeccable you are, yet you can't see 

. 

Your colors, your grace, you evergreen leaves 

. 

Belle eres, la hermosa del jardin.  

. 

No te alarmes 

. 

Porque un dia marchitaras 

. 

Pero tus semillas van a sembrar.  

. 

Violeta. Hermosa. Lavanda.

    Well the seeds were sown in this Spanish beauty - love the idea of writing in two languages - it works so well and this is a most engaging write.

    Hmmm I never thought of writing in more than one language. Loved it. Spanish has such beautiful words, expressed well in this poem. 🙂
