Image and Description for poem #72

Glowing is her Bonnet,
Glowing is her Cheek,
Glowing is her Kirtle,
Yet she cannot speak

Better as the Daisy
From the Summer hill
Vanish unrecorded
Save by tearful rill –

Save by loving sunrise
Looking for her face.
Save by feet unnumbered
Pausing at the place.

Description

The “Glowing” “Bonnet”, “Cheek”, and “Kirtle”, is a description of this beautiful Daisy that “cannot speak” for herself, but doesn’t need to, because the rain “tearful rill”, the sun “loving sunrise”, and people “feet unnumbered”, will love and take care of her.

Image and Description for Poem #93

Went up a year this evening! I recollect it well! Amid no bells nor bravoes The bystanders will tell! Cheerful – as to the village – Tranquil – as to repose – Chastened – as to the Chapel This humble Tourist rose! Did not talk of returning!

“They have not chosen me,” he said, “But I have chosen them!” Brave – Broken hearted statement – Uttered in Bethlehem! I could not have told it, But since Jesus dared – Sovereign! Know a Daisy Thy dishonor shared! Description When you go to pick a daisy or a flower, it is actually the reverse, the daisy has picked you. “You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you.” God is in the Daisy. God is in all the living creatures. You did not pick the land you live on, the land picked you, we are the guests. When you kill and torture innocent animals and land for the sole purpose of self economic gain, the broken hearts of those living creatures and their descendants will be your burden to bear.  It is time we give the land back to the land!  Let the land and wild animals prosper before we kill and destroy everything that is responsible for giving us life.
