Lilium Bulbiferum

In my youth I shot straight up like a hot bullet from the soil PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW A fire lilly otherwise classified by its latin name: Lilium bulbiferum My volcanic petals spewed tears of my dismay Vulnerable to the winds of change, that the future brings I was prone to hiding in the shadows Limp, and weakened My leafy hearts were trampled upon by erratic travelers, whose unpredictable destructive paths met mine Then the winter came……….. It was here in fetal position in hibernation mode I stayed It is always the hardest to create a positive personal change I escaped from my quick sand sorrow prison of self pity Like a mud puddle soaked retriever Valiantly shaking off the muck of my self doubts Free Reborn Hybrid of hope Brighter than a glow worm Specimen unknown Undefinable soul a Lily that is whole Neon rainbow My leafy hearts open to consuming the light Blooming petals full of insight Aromatic perfumes to soothe the soul I am this, and The lily that weathers through the storm THIS .......... IS.................... JUST ANOTHER STORY OF metamorphosis ............................................. of a regular human mr/ms/mrs anybody
