Pick Me

Pick me the single garden weed
Who wants to be a lovely flower
If allowed to grow and be empowered 
By loves sweet lavender fragrance 
Inhale and be under its spell 

Pick me like the last little yellow hope
For a miracle in a medical emergency 
The herbs and spices dicing denim dilemma 
Calming your blood pressure naturally 
Easing your pain giving you reprieve 

Pick me like the holiest of white words
Sautés soothing serenade silver saints 
Dissolving sin stirring soulful rainbows
Making mightier Mahogany men 
Waking women divine feminine womb

Pick me to be or not to be
Like the God in you chooses
To walk beyond what is known
And surpass all understanding 
Of teal time energy and space

I am depending on your ability to choose 
Love over hate realness over fake
Compassion discarding contempt 
I am you and also her and him and humanity 
Pick me and love me fiercely

The first three stanzas of 'Pick Me' are truly memorable, Karen. Bravo, Gershon

Anne Lise thank you! In my mind it is the dandelion of the womb the unborn who want a chance at life. But I am purposefully not saying aborted because there is still choice Hugs I know it is vague lol hugs
