Sacred Petals

when I touched the sacred petals 
that came out of the oceans of
love and honey-a rainbow heartprint
shimmered in my hand-
I lifted it up with tenderness-because
it reminded me of my parents
who said their prayers and
discovered the hymn that
united them in love and family-
Now 
holding the petals which sheltered 
them-I feel their divine heart prints 
walking through my life-California blue

Honey a rainbow heart print - what an eloquent line in an exquisite poem. I'll confess ignorance as to the literal meaning but that's part of the magic, I believe. Well done Gordon
