Gratitude in Each Petal

New adventure

Blue, pink, red, mauve,

or yellow

each petal tells a story

it sings if you would lean

and listen

to voice coming from mirrors,

grass,

this flower lives today,

petals have come and gone

for years, decades,

the fragrance

stays fresh, inviting wishes

to come true in embrace,

spirit to run wild,

find new bridges

to cross clouds and the gap

that stays your steps in precipice,

learning to stride above the ocean,

island of turquoise shells,

new blooms to spread,

new dreams

to make heart light

in fairy twinkles.

***

If you were meant for dark path

take a flower

it can be your friend,

guide the way,

you cannot lose your spirit in its fragrance

perfume will bring you home

safe in your trust

grateful to be at peace,

in sunset

of higher way

to be you once again

not shadow,

not a mirror,

your voice echoes the trust

you wished to find

and couldn't reach

under mountain of ashes,

dust.

***

Break free with petals

in your heart

no boundaries to flight,

no limits to compassion

help,

hold hands with scarves

enchanting wishes.

***

Which dream

rings true to you,

whose wish

can you make happen?

***

Would you surrender heart to see

another smile,

laughter that rings

bells in forgotten spirit

of grace and gratitude?
