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.

There is such a great concept behind this. The metaphor is not uncommon, but your use of vision to drive the message is. Great work.

Nice one, rock-n-roll cowboy. I saw a picture of a flower and was wondering if such a rough and tough seeming individual would write about a budding flower. Well done, well done. I like this poem quite a bit. I would print it out for my wall, but since it's not published I don't think that's right.

Believe me I understand the meaning of your poem, the beauty and glory of planting and watching flowers develop is as near to a miracle as a human being can get .. and it's the same with self, with others, they can flower into never forgotten memories . You've used great metaphors here. Great thoughts transcribed into a lovely poem.

Thanks to this verse I will look at each rose in my bouquet differently. Im not a flower person, somehow i feel sad when they arent in their natural habitat. So when i do get flowers, im horrid in showing how grateful i am...... :-( ....but i should now enjoy every bit of it!

Thanks!!!

x,
O!

I have roses from my Grandfather rose bush. They rebirth every year for me. When I see them I can remember his face and happiness being in his garden. A beautiful poem. Birth of life and beauty is appreciated by wise and old men. A excellent poem.

Love this. Everyone is similar just like a flower but every one is vastly unique just like too like flowers are not exactly the same either. Fantastic write!
