Detached

And the gorgeous flower feels so very Detached Thus missing from its own environment Leaning Towards the edge of the known universe Lost Within its own self, greatly expressing Life Coming out of its many pores it has Detached Flower leaves the confines of the garden Leaving Any answers back at its old home place… Russell Sivey

Dear Russell, there are many of us who feel like we are "missing from (our) own environment" and the introspection becomes overpowering. At the end of life when we enter the spiritual realm, I hope we will feel part of a greater plan and reconnect with lost loved ones. Very inspiring poem, my friend! Love, Carolyn

Have I told you that I have a roof garden and every day I post in facebook a photo of flowers? If I haven't told you then you can check it out! Your marvelous poem touched the core of my heart with its beauty and its sublime message! Great work my friend Russell!
