The Flower Moon - May

Lorna



Showers and showers

And now the flowers

Sitting in the soft moonlight

Of the May nights

Like pearls hung in strands

Like multi colored sea shells

Tossing back

The light into the black

    WOW ~ Lorna ~ this has made me weep with Joy ~ These are all of my FAVOURITE THINGS ! Love the Moon ~ May ~ Flowers and Solo Piano and You for posting such a perfect GEM ! A lovely tribute to MAY (the Prettiest of Months !) In ESSEX we have had the rain with a vengeance ~ but this Morning (on my way to work ~ by BIKE) the Sun was shining and all the flowers were blooming for MAY DAY. It's my COFFEE BREAK NOW so just catch up on MPS in the Office with a Fresh Perk ! Yours as always BRIAN ~ Please check my HOT AIR BALLOONS ~ Thanks B. Loved the visuals in the VIDEO !

      I just love your comment Brian .... makes me feel like I was riding your bike through the English sunshine...... enjoy your coffee.... and weird because as I was posting I also was thinking about balloons so there must have been some telepathy going on.........

      Lorna,
      Happy May Day...aka...Happy Labor Day( in Italy and many other countries)...national holiday...or as my dad use to say, “Every day is labor day! I work every day!”

      A great posting! I loved the video...the piano playing, the visuals, etc. Awesome!
      Enjoy the day!

        Your Dad was right L! Seemed like work every day! Now retired so am learning the art of relaxing! How was the Osso Bucco?

        • Laura🌻

          The osso buco was delicious...with a side of farfalle pasta! 😋

          A lovely write and clip/pic Lorna. Better than the sight of me today. I'm a Morris dancer (am I? lol), with me shorts on and costume, and bells, going round this May pole in circles! heehee.

            On I am so impressed Orchi! I just love the Morris Dance clips I have seen! I will forever think of you this way in your bells and buttons.........

              just me and you
              in a clearing
              in a forest
              in the days of may.

              • Lorna

                Lovely!
