Anticipating…
Green unveiling blue
Metamorphosis
Petals born anew
Just biding your time
Until it’s your hour
So butterfly like
Transforming flower
Oh shades of clear skies
An ocean of blue
You do dazzle me
With heavenly hues
Dew droplets sparkle
Upon moonlit sea
With your sapphire waves
Washing over me
Shades that will deepen
When chills do arrive
Lavender blue fades
But you’re still a prize
From garden to vase
Lasting forever
Please may we harvest
Your golden treasure?
2012/Wendy
I wrote this while listening to my daughter’s piano lesson taking place in the background. Her music ability is transforming quickly into something very beautiful. I’m so glad she loves to play.
Like the metamorphosis of a caterpillar into a butterfly, our Heavenly Father wants to see our hearts born anew. The book of John, in the New Testament, is a great place to read about this.

I LOVE this, Wendy!! Beautiful poetry, and gorgeous blue flowers. God bless you–love,sis Caddo
Thank you, Caddo. It means so much to me that a poet, I admire, would compliment my work!

Hydrangeas were the “color” in my bridal bouquet…still a favorite. Beautiful pictures, and how great that your daughter created such inspiring music! Blessings, Alison
Thank you! We are going to lessons in 30 minutes. I can hear the music as I sit in my van and write… Maybe I’ll have a new poem for next week?
Blessings ~ Wendy
Love the blues!!! Glorious photography. I have nominated you for the Reader Appreciation Award. I appreciate your poetry and photos, the way you weave the words and the pictures. http://lifesearchforchrist.wordpress.com/2012/09/26/another-award-post/ gracie
Thank you, Gracie. I am enjoying God’s art in my garden… it inspires me to write.

Beautiful photos, lovely poetry and I love the idea of spiritual metamorphosis. I’m ready to leave my cocoon!!
Thank you. I desire to continue changing into something that can fly above earthly trials, and not be bogged down by them. Thankfulness gives me wings!
Blessings ~ Wendy
Beautiful pics & poetry, Wendy! I like hydrangeas too and these ones are particularly lovely ones. God bless!
Thank you. Hydrangeas are worth the effort of keeping them well-watered. We wilt, too, without the Living Water… I have four thirsty hydrangeas.
Blessings ~ Wendy
Love those photos! Amazing colors!
Thank you. I took the pictures in the morning sunlight.

I love hydrangeas and your photos are beautiful. Thank you for visiting and liking my post Formation.
Thank you! I really liked your orchid photo. My orchid has buds and you’ve inspired me to capture it on camera – when it blooms!

Hello Wendy,
Lovely photos and poetry. And how lovely to read of another home and garden with blue Hydrangeas and the sounds of piano music! Best wishes to your daughter with her playing. It will be a joy for you all in the years ahead,I’m sure. I gave it up at 13, and took it up again 5 years ago….. and home made music is such a delight,
best wishes
Julian
I agree, homemade music is delightful – indeed! Good on you for getting back into it. Our daughter loves piano and it is a relief that she wants to practice… I have heard stories about practice battles. Lessons was her idea. 🙂
Blessings ~ Wendy
Gute Fotos
