Flowers Emerge

Flowers Emerge Impose your will on the pretty flowers as you may Trans-formative wonderment of nature Entrenched, defiled, they pop up any way in clusters Vivacious are the colors above the solid stem Cut cold to death, decay and pain, to follow winters grip Excellence defined in the ability to survive Dangerous are the forces that persist to derogate them Yet they prevail against all odds Death comes but they regenerate Grass is their shield. Dirt is their pillow there Negative winds carry with them ice Reds and yellows grow on below the sun Visceral, strangled roots, fragile faces, petal soft, grow cold Ingenious species, green with envy on the leaf, rise again A Cacophony of nature’s birds and bees disturbs the peace Flowers come in abundance, remain, friendly on the green Distinguished in divine fashion, exquisite, generous to the last Elevated smiles on pollen grains contain the seed of life Flowers emerge, aware of life 11/22/14 Poetry Contest - "Encounters With Flowers"
