Petals and Stems

A lovely yellow primrose

Emits perfume only God can create.

It is not angry when its thorns annoy your arms,

It is just a healing stem of summer love.



And you, a dove-white summer door

Don the rim of twilight’s bird bath,

And watch with warm and loving feelings

Under the night’s new blinking stars.
