The Girl Smelling Flowers

I want to be the girl smelling flowers Breathing them in and dreaming Both our faces up-turned Sun-soaking and beaming To be the girl with shoulders like feathers Bright eyes, a song on my tongue A dance on my hip as I travel Fresh air polluting my lungs   They'll be tucked in my hair, my blooms When I become this girl I admire I'll carry the sun as a crown and pollinate the world with my fire I want to be the girl smelling flowers With only the sweetness to consider Her heart filled with weightless clouds Floating about within her   To be the girl with dew soaked ankles From my walk on the morning's sighs The girl with nectar in her veins And the Milky Way in her eyes Could be she's just a wish away This girl I wish to be Could be she's somewhere in a bud Growing from a tree   One day, she'll walk along the path With the flowers through the mist Meeting with the lily pads For their early evening tryst One day, she'll misplace minutes And idly lose her hours Rescued from too much wishing, I'll be the girl smelling flowers Jessica Highstreet 10/14/15
