Flower

I walk through the weeds of my life

As far as I can see they cover the field in front of me

I will forever walk in weeds, until…

I come to a small clearing to find a flower

I bend down to take a closer look

The smell and beauty consumes me

I look behind me at the path I have traveled

Flowers, as far as I can see

They were there all the time

I had never noticed before

I always thought they were weeds

I want to go back to appreciate each and every one

But it’s too late, I have already missed them

I look in front of me and I see flowers now covering the field

I look forward to smelling each flower along my way

Great metaphor in the weeds and the flowers of your poem. Often it is refreshing to open our eyes and try to see our life from a different point of view. Wonderful poem and great vision.

[Colleen C Dunphy]

Very beautiful.
I love taking pictures of flowers.

[NightDream]

This is a reflection of real life and how we miss what is right in front of us until something or someone opens our eyes. It is beautiful and visual. Great Job!!

This is a really genuine poem. I loved the metaphor of the simplicity of flowers.
It could almost be a metaphor for poetry. What doesn't overwhelm us like a shrub would, allures us to take a closer look. You capture a fantastic image, but I also feel there was intention there. Which makes it more beautiful and raw.

An inspiring reminder to take notice to the beauty that surrounds us -- and appreciate it for all its worth ... I loved this poem, Mysty ... I wrote one similar to yours and I'll post it one day ... This is a keeper ... Wonderfully written ... hugs

That's so sweet.
The metaphoric way of expressing the revelation of the fact that there is good in people is wonderful.

Inspiring, How we travel through life never stopping to notice the beauty. Then catches up and we say wait a minute, I missed something and when we go back it's gone. And you woll never take for grant the
