My Flower; My Life

I see a flower and I see a life
With colors that light up my heart
With disco lights…I’m away
Pleasant scents dancing in the air
Radiance of beauty upon my home
Petals so delicate
As fragile as my heart
One touch would open me up
Or fold me into my bud
So I lookout for my heart with thorns all around me
To keep me from withering and frailty
And in the wind I dance to the melodies of Mother Nature
I then reach to the sky for a dose of the sun’s rays
And there I thrive;
The rain falls down, to bathe me
And that one drop lingering on my petals
Then ever so gracefully moves smoothly falling to the earth
Moist I remain to relish in my heart forever
I present to you…
…my flower

Yours Truly
