I Picked Flowers Today

wild flowers
                         growing
                       in meadows

                        sown from
                    prodigal seeds ~
                        scattered

                     by the tempest
                           wind,
                          tangled 

                       in transient
                           vines,
                       free spirits

                        wander ~
                      gathered in
                remembrance of you.

Isn't it fun to think about how many mighty oak trees have been planted by small squirrels, or how many birds have carried a seed on their back flying into grasses, that eventually become a bed of roadside flowers? A lovely poem with such a beautiful romantic message at the end. How pretty.

Thank you for stopping by Marinate....your comments about my poem is 'poetry' in itself. Best, Paulette
