Lavender Days,
Lavender ways
no shade of blue
or pink in hue
Lavender seems,
Lavender dreams
leading to
footsteps thro’
Lavender fields,
Lavender yields
scents sublime
holding time.
Lavender dies,
Lavender sighs
dry sad tears
re-birth years…

Pen Pusher, I just write when the mood takes me, and wherever my imagination wants to go I try to follow....

My favorite color–lavender. Lavender used to be “the fragrance” and might still rank high although mixtures of herbs seem to be the rage.
lavender sighs dry sad tears, rebirth years………It dies and then rises again.
Thank you for sharing. You gave me a smile.

I loved this, too, Pen. My mother just adored lavender and said it made her calm and dreamy, and that what she loved best about it was, and these are her words, it’s rebirth every year. So yes, you were spot on as always and brought a good memory back to me this morning.
XOXOXO

Yes, the Cyclone has hit land and hard, but so far there are no injurd or dead being reported, so it looks like the prayers weren’t wasted!!!
There’s a lot of property damage though and it’s amazing anything survived 180MPH winds, but it did…

Hi Pen,
Yes I do remember you.. I’m surpised you remember me, it’s been so long since I posted anything 😦
I moved over because I had ( move it or lose it- fascists ), thinking it would bring everthing over too, but obviously it didn’t, then after I left the comment on Kathys site ( she managed to find me, and this wordpress thingy sent me an email- which I only picked up YESTERDAY! ) today a load of stuff has appeared which i hope doesn’t disappear…..
It’s a long story… 😦
It’s great to see you again Pen, thanks for getting in touch,hopefully I’ll be seeing you some more, and thanks for your comment re. my mum and gran, I’ll fill you in a bit more next time.

I meant to say that for my birthday last year, my daughter gave me some lovely perfumed pillow mist of Lavender, Mandarin and Chamomile, by Champneys, it’s to relax you and make you sleep, very strongly lavender scented, and it mostly works. I liked it so much she bought me one for Christmas

Mmm, sounds wonderful Arlene, OooO I can just imagine the aroma and perfume wafting about…I just love any kind of aroma which can draw on all the senses…and anything which can make you sleep is alright by me… 😉

I am just going to sit here and soak this in… lavender thoughts and lavender days. Lavender is my “signature scent.” Not that I picked it as such. It picked me. I love the blooms, the scent, the color, and the way my husband remarks “oh, you smell so good” when he gets up close and his nose captures the hint of perfume from the lavender water I use.
There is a lavender farm near where I live and every summer I tell myself I should get out there and visit it. I will do so this year, in honor of your ‘Lavender Thoughts.’

Love the poem, Pen. There’s something haunting about the rhythm – and of course the memory of the scent – so lingering and so subtle, at the same time, the beautiful soft color. You got it!
