Love is the flower you've got to let grow...

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ A flower growing in a pot on my verandah.
Another plant is there, and suddenly as Winter began, this one appeared.
In fact two of them appeared.
They are a little like wild spirits loving the romance of life.

Carry on Tuesday #11 ~ Love is the flower you've got to let grow ~ John Lennon

Love is Mother Earth
Gentle rich soils nurture life
Rain is a blessing
~
Love is the flower
Inner senses awaken
You've got to let grow
~
Spiritual warmth
Romance of moon and sunlight
You've got to let glow
