FLOWERS

FLOWERS

though they may be

fragile as a butterfly wing

thin enough to let light

pass through​​ 

yet​​ they​​ defy their seeming weakness​​ 

to​​ bring​​ healing to​​ us

​​ even in our​​ most sorrowful​​ and​​ 

dreadful of​​ times.

No matter the gray

that​​ casts shadows​​ 

on us​​ or​​ on our​​ hopes

their colors are a​​ burst

of​​ unexpected brightness

for​​ the rooms​​ of our lives

thru which we may pass

from time to time

and in which we may choose​​ 

to​​ pause

​​ to​​ be healed

and to give thanks

for the abundance

of Mother Earth

that she should

provide them​​ 

of her own

free will

and​​ healing

​​ heart.
