relocated daisy

They say a single white blossomed. Petals flung wide in the east wind’s howl— She must be lonely. Alone? Yes, but not adrift. Nonsense. No flower thrives without tending. Perhaps you should look closer: her roots drink from the deep earth— No use in tending, when the soil remembers better than memory.

A flower grows even without anybody tending it. Mother earth always remembers to provide it with enough nutrients. the flower may be lonely, but not adrift. Beautifully composed poem, dear Jasmine.

Thank you, Valsa, for your compliments and encouragement. I'd like to think it's better to be a wild daisy alone in the field, than a delicate rose bush awaiting tender care. May we all flourish as we bathe in blessings of Mother earth!
