when daffodils weep

when daffodils weep

how fragile are these moments
when the daffodils weep
in late spring
against an onslaught of rains
blooms withered and gone
faded memories
of daffodils
reminded again
when their hues of sunshine
return once more
briefly again
next year

    Wow, Em. Your photo with the accompanying narrative is fantastic. It makes me feel wistful. You’re right-daffodils are so fleeting. We’re often too busy in early spring to enjoy them (I know I am), and then suddenly, they’re gone. It’s a looooong time before we see them again-such happy harbingers of sunshine. They remind us that spring is here-even when daffodils get covered with snow-they still stand tall. Beautiful job.

  • riverotter replied

    Thanks Linda … I waited a bit to reply to your comment because reading the word “wistful” in your comment … I adore that, thank you! Figuratively speaking, “wistful” bounced about in my being all morning and now past noon. What a wonderful word: wistful. Thank you for your gift, hugs, Em
