Poem -
Where Good Intentions Lay
Most good intentions are resting on the petals of a sunflower
wrestling against the autumn wind and straining to find the sun.
Slowly slipping from their golden platform and meandering on a
gentle thermal ,finding rest on the dry bracken ground,
only to then slowly decay within the roughness of the soil,
and then be forever buried

Love the picture you have created where sometimes all the best intentions are somehow, lost and forgotten..but hopefully many more will be remembered and valued. This is a lovely piece of work Lodi, succinct, descriptive and a thoroughly entertaining read.
Thanks so much StevieC always love to get your comments. Lodigiana xx
Very beautiful description of a sad truth 🌹🌹
You are so right Marion, thank you so very much. Lodigiana xx
Lady L this is so beautifully told it reminds me of Kahlil Gilbran. Sad but beautiful.
Great write my friend,
Nigel.
Thanks so much my friend..really pleased you like it Nigel. Sometimes I am inclined to ramble on a bit but this felt short and complete enough in just a few lines - which for me is a bit of a miracle! Lady L xx
Hi Lodigiana....Oh I sure hope some good intentions make it to create something that would never have happened without that good intention to start with. But, sadly many good intentions are forgotten. My dad used to say that good intentions lead to the road to hell...(something like that anyway) Sad portrayal but with incredible imagery with the sunflowers. Great work. xo ;)
I think your Dad was spot on but I guess that should never let us stop trying to make good intentions a reality..so pleased you enjoyed it. Thanks as always for your lovely insight Cherie xxx .
