Petals and Stems

A lovely yellow primrose Emits perfume only God can create. It is not angry when its thorns annoy your arms, It is just a healing stem of summer love. And you, a dove-white summer door Don the rim of twilight’s bird bath, And watch with warm and loving feelings Under the night’s new blinking stars.
