Pick Me

Pick me the single garden weed Who wants to be a lovely flower If allowed to grow and be empowered By loves sweet lavender fragrance Inhale and be under its spell Pick me like the last little yellow hope For a miracle in a medical emergency The herbs and spices dicing denim dilemma Calming your blood pressure naturally Easing your pain giving you reprieve Pick me like the holiest of white words Sautés soothing serenade silver saints Dissolving sin stirring soulful rainbows Making mightier Mahogany men Waking women divine feminine womb Pick me to be or not to be Like the God in you chooses To walk beyond what is known And surpass all understanding Of teal time energy and space I am depending on your ability to choose Love over hate realness over fake Compassion discarding contempt I am you and also her and him and humanity Pick me and love me fiercely

The first three stanzas of 'Pick Me' are truly memorable, Karen. Bravo, Gershon

Anne Lise thank you! In my mind it is the dandelion of the womb the unborn who want a chance at life. But I am purposefully not saying aborted because there is still choice Hugs I know it is vague lol hugs
