Grounded Guardians
delphiniums
slim sapphire sentries,
garden guards
until
gales grounded these guardians
Fallen Fellows lining the land
peering pearl eyes now prone

I want to grow
I want to grow and I’m going to grow. I’m not going to be this version of myself anymore and you won’t know who I become. You won’t talk to her, or be by her side as she goes through life— you won’t know her. Her heart won’t even remember the small moments that’ve clung to it for so long. I’ll watch her embrace a new life that has nothing to do with you, and there won’t be a space waiting like there has been for far too long.

Just beautiful!! Love your work so much, thank you for brightening our days!
You always find the souls in each of God's plants. Love that!
Such a wonderful economy of words, with such abundance of meaning.
Solid 💙
I've never noticed the eyes before. Once prone, those eyes are hard to miss! Cool idea for a poem.
Very sweep poem & lovely photo. Liked ‘slim sapphire sentries, garden guards…’ & the alliteration 👍🏼.
Oooo, this was soooo beautifully painted and I especially loved your alliteration 😍😍😍
Beautifully done, Andrea! 💝
Love this, great work Andrea
The imagery of the "slim sapphire sentries" transformed into "fallen fellows" evokes a sense of both fragility and strength. The personification of the delphiniums as "garden guards" adds a touch of whimsy and reminds us of the intricate connection between humans and the natural world. The juxtaposition of the once upright flowers with their "peering pearl eyes now prone" creates a poignant visual of their vulnerability. It's a reminder to cherish and appreciate the transient beauty that surrounds us. Many thanks!
short and deep!
