My perfect flower

oh well, it was a slow day

 

My perfect flower

 

 

Knocking down this broken fence,

I wander through the fields

Headed for a line of trees

to find what all it yields

 

Foot prints in the fresh plowed earth,

my mind so longs to see

What the world does have in store,

now offered up for me

 

The sun sits shining over head,

so bright its warming rays

Hanging from a sky of blue,

a beacon on display

 

Still I see horizon’s faire

of shadows on the wall

Wandering, I take a breath

and wonder of it all

 

I travel on my journey still

when there before my eyes

A flower like a special song

averts my lonely cries

 

Beautifully it stares at me

with hope for all to share

Bending down upon my knee,

this flower waiting there

 

Loveliness within I find

of petal'd smiling touch

For my dreams have found a truth

desires felt so much

 

Many were the days I lived

with nothing much so true

Until the sun did shine its light

and lead me here to you

 

I shall build a wondrous wall

to shelter you from harm

Tend you now and everyday,

protect you from the storm

 

Nourish you and keep you safe

for this eternity

So I may keep forever more

this joy you bring to me

 

Never more shall this man roam

beyond this valley view

For I accept you as my own,

my perfect flower, you

I love this poem paired with the graphic.
It made me want to feel the sun on my face and the breeze running through my hair.
The images come to life with your details.
Lovely spring days are what I am thinking of as I read this along with love being in the air.
