The Awe of White Flowers

Regardless of kingdom, class or division,
Whether labelled exotic, tropical or wild,
All white flowers are favored by my vision
As pure perfection, peaceful and undefiled.

White blooms whisper a symphony crescendo,
Dancing and thrilling my inner light with awe.
Ivory buds melt stress snarls to a mellow,
Spiritually enhancing, soul deep thaw.

My inner spark glows fresh, pristine elation
Beholding white petals thick, crisp purity.
Vivid white softens life with calm creation
Of unsullied, ideal clustered surety. 

White flowers grow innocent serenity
Displays with chaste, passionate, pacifist ways
To gift bouquets of velvet tranquility
And genuine, snow-calm softness to my days.

Congrats on your placement, CayCay! :-) P.S. While white flowers represent purity and innocence, they can be deadly, too -- as in the case of the Mountain Laurel, the Hemlocks and Giant Hogweeds (poisonous and invasive)....

Very, very soothing...And soft like a snowy white pillow. A pillow I could just lie back upon...close my eyes...rest me weary head...And fall peacefully and happily into the deepest sleep - where to dream contently of fantastic, unsullied, purest, snow-white flowers! Soon, johnny lad, you will sleep long and safe soon - And wander the marvelous and tranquil poetic fields of CayCays magificent blooms!! My very best regards, CayCay. And my warmest and most sincere wishes to you as always. :) john
