Graceful

Listen to poem:

Grasses sway, I am lulled with their motion Anti-gravitational devotion Spider's web moving in time with the breeze Waiting, calmly, life of ease Come to me, come to me Sing songs of the sky Watch clouds and dandelion seeds drifting by The flight of the bumble bee to each flower Gracefully preoccupied hour after hour The stretching of limbs, the arch of a spine Balletic poses, beautiful, divine Slow and steady heartbeat next to mine All peaceful ways to spend my time

It's the essence of a flower that was and will once again be Silent One - so poetic even I can't deny it :) if I do a petal poem I'll try and ensure it's a masterpiece (obvs) thank you for your kind feedback
