Shasta Daisies
Slowly progressing in its rise to a view to see,
Sea green leaves ascend, viewed by humankind.
Spreading outward sprouts flow upwardly free,
Roots dive down into paces of refuge to bind.
Perennial form defying nature’s fearsome cold
Designed to be reborn again, reporting in spring.
Preparing its tall stature, created to be so bold,
Leaf petals seem the only creation it will bring.
Suddenly a bud appears a tranquility presenter.
Opening, dispersing white petals circling prime,
Milk whitened bloom with a yellowish center.
One named a Shasta daisy, chosen for this rhyme.
I adore this plant, truly an extraordinary adventure.
Enjoy my beautiful explosion, of artful contexture.
