“Welcome to Wonderful Wednesday’s. I’m CeCe!”

“Would like to thank Jewel or as some may know her Piper Ellie for inviting me to host here at Cheryl’s fun corral.  Today’s posts will be covered in Lilacs. I wish there were a way to add a scent to my blog. Lilacs have such a beautiful smell to them not to mention the spectacular color and romantic feel.”

“With all that said I would like to invite all poets to be inspired and share a little romance this Wednesday.  All things lilac is welcomed but anything beautiful and inspiring will help make this a beautiful post.” ~Cece

Lilacs

by Elaine Magliaro

L
ittle-petalled blossoms hang

In soft clusters of

Lavender lace

Adorning spring’s greenery,

Catching honeybees with

Sweet perfume.

  • Purple lilacs symbolize love – first love actually.
  • The ancient Greeks have a mythology thing about lilac symbolism.  A” god of the forest” named Pan ran across a beautiful nymph named Syringa while wandering in the woods one day.  He thought she was “hot” and tried to chase her down, I guess to get her number or something.  This freaked her out, and she ran (who’d blame her) . Sadly she was so freaked out that she turned into “an aroma bush of lilac” (is this not a little unbelievable?).  Pan was bummed.  He was also, apparently, a wood-god pretty close to his emotions, so he started crying and ran around doing good forever-after which somehow caused the word” Syringa” to become the Latin word for lilac.  Whew! Now you know.

      lilac garden I hold in my heart so tight.
      Lilac grow all around me.
      The smell is so calming.
      I feel so much peace.
      I’m standing tall in this new life.
      I have seen very little strife .
      It’s a beautiful day to write.
      Shadows have faded away into the light.
      I see heavens halo so bright.
      I’m flying high with angels wings by my side..
      I’m growing into a beautiful lilac garden.
      Every color I can imagine.
      These days there is no fear.
      I fought the fear and won.
      I’m so much stronger inside.
      I can now smile.
      Things are turning around.
      I lived, I’ve learned.
      Now it is my turn.
      Happiness is mine to find.
      I find my heart craving more.
      A love of life standing before me.
      Everything I dream I hope will be.
      I have work so hard to get where I am today.
      I don’t plan to fall anymore.
      I’m trying so hard to hang on to hope.
      Faith is all I got.
      I’m not afraid to take a chance.
      And here I am in my new bran life.
      Faith held me tight so I could move my feet.
      The last life was not a easy feat .
      But I moved past the defeat.
      Now I have found some bless.
      Dreams are flying high.
      I’m a hero like my dad.
      I help the abused, I help the homeless.
      My hurt is pure has snow.
      For these pour souls it does show..
      For so many years I have felt their pain.
      I can understand their heart ache .
      Maybe I can be inspiration to those who will listen.
      I would tell them life I can always change.
      We don’t have to settle for the gray.
      I’m living proof time and time I changed my life moving to a different place.
      Starting over has become my hearts way.
      And each time it gets better for me.
      I learned so much, I can not even began to explain.
      But my heart is true .
      Now I start new .
      I look forward to my happy times.
      Maybe now I’ll find my home .
      With out a man to take it away.
      I plan to be independent this time.
      I plan to find out who I am.
      Growing into a beautiful garden.
      And I’m not afraid anymore.
      All the fear has floated away and peace has taken it’s place.
      I feel so free.
      Like the world is finally blessing me.
      I am finally being heard .
      And it feels just right.
      Now more tears I can finally fight all these coming up fears.
      So here I go living my life.
      And it feels so ,so goooooooooooooooood

    • Barbara_K says:

      I don’t get a chance to see lilacs too often here in Southern California,
      but they always remind me of growing up back east where they were always
      such a precious sign of springtime . . . .

      SPRINGTIME INFUSION

      With the first light of the sun,
      as the morning streams in
      through my half-open window,
      I can’t help but feel
      the magic of springtime
      infusing the room
      as intoxicating fragrances
      of lavender and lilacs
      gently awaken me,
      a soothing balm for this heart
      grown weary of winter white.
      Waking up with the birds
      and their sweet morning songs,
      as I hear their delicate notes
      I simply must join in
      with the melody they sing
      as they welcome the dawn.
      And as the morning glories
      of pale blue and white
      open up to the sun
      and rejoice in the day
      I can’t help but notice them
      and feel the same way.
