her hair a mass of flowing branches
leaves and twigs woven together
create beautiful braids
that frame her face
jacaranda blossoms
are the flowers in her hair
and as she dances and plays
they leave a pretty purple path
∴
will you follow her?

Beautiful and yes…I will. So sweet and lovely.
Thank you 🙂 The jacaranda trees in the yard are in bloom and I just love seeing the purple petals scattered about 🙂
I bet they look wonderful. Pictures please. I don’t think we have any of those, even at the Garden. Do they have a scent?
I will try to get some pics. The thing is the tree in our yard is very old and only blossoms way up high…so hard to get a decent picture to show off the loveliness…though they still drop plenty of their pretty purple petals 🙂
The fragrance is very slight.
Here is a picture from google images of some beautiful jacaranda trees in full bloom!
So very beautiful! Thank you for this amazing picture. I can’t believe how gorgeous they are.
Mother Nature??
Oh, not SHE…merely goddess of tree 🙂 though she is a friend of.. Mother Nature dances and sings with all the tree goddesses, wood nymphs and fae 🙂
Ahh, all is revealed. I’ve been know to dance naked through the trees.
I’m not at all surprised! 🙂
Did it this morning, ran through the new garden bed. Lorelle laughed. 🙂
Really enchanting… The kind of writing I’m incapable of, so I adore it even more (yes, I do have romantic side ;))
Of course you do! You only think you have it hidden away 🙂
