Flowers

Where do your lovely flowers grow?

On a hill?

In a meadow?

In a garden in a row?

Where do your colors bloom and shine?

In the sunlight?

In your heart?

In the seeds you leave behind?

 

Flowers are more than we may first assume.

The magic and mystery

Brought forth in bloom,

The bright metaphorical cadence of joy

Is a groundswell of happiness

Bathed in perfume.

And every blossom

-Precious and quaint -

Fades in it’s time

With no hint of complaint,

Content in it’s day with

The picture it painted

It passes all bonds of restraint.

 

And we are the flowers,

The you, we and I,

Who wink at the sunlight

And rise toward the sky.
