Greenery

after the rain, wildflowers bend like wilted men wrapped in age and bliss fragments of longing and belonging in wet that sustains a warming world to bring elation with green fields in a mission of beauty daisies poke through tall grasses picketing the field with star shaped heads and yellow centre discs that make the world manageable to hold gadflies of growth with white petals plucked by wooing hands to know the alignment of love greenery with life within overstuffed drenched hazy a tangle of vegetation all of it deflecting woe like voices in a chorus finding one's self in the mix June 2023
