Watch And Learn

Inspired by a pic Liza posted in her photos :)

 

Trust me…

 

Watch with admiration,

The seedling as it grows

Without hesitation

Not minding

What the weather is doing,

Just simply sprouting

Into a world already full

Of flowers

Yet knows it has a place

Upon God’s soil.

(Take note: I too was once a seedling.)

 

Keep our eye on the bulb

So you don’t miss

The meaning

Of her petals opening

To this vast world,

Notice each one

Reaches for the sky

Though her roots

Are grounded.

(Mental note: home and wings can co-exist.)

 

Oh each flower

Has the same story to tell

Yet each one

Is full of independent inspiration.

The two first words -Trust me...- give these lines even more impact.
This piece is so filled with beauty and grace, as also with a very strong positive vibe giving hope and strength to each and every being. Every being, may that be a plant, an animal or a human, they are all here for a reason and to fulfill their individual mission...
Thanks for these wonderful images and the beautiful inspiration.

Such a refreshing, positive poem showing that we were once all children like the seeds of a flower, that opens it's petals to the ongoing process of nature. Loving, learning and blooming.
Thank your for sharing this beautiful effigy, sculptured by your hands and heart.

Makes me wonder if all of us have forgotten that we are flowers...we struggle so hard to live and find meaning with life at times, maybe the answer is to plant ourselves in the soil and live in harmony with the world...that works for me.

Wow! You captured the nature of growth so well in this piece. I hope to be a seedling for my whole life, never out growing the need for nourishment of the mind…

Great Write Man! A fav!
