Wild Flower

You are a wild flower
Potted and constrained
You should be in a meadow
Where the sunlight is unstrained

The breeze should blow you gently
Not storms that rattle by
Those petals shouldn't curl and hide
Your beauty from the eye

I wish that I could carry you
And plant you where you'd be
That beautiful wild flower that
You were always meant to be

Awwwn this is absolutely beautiful, dear Cynthia! Some are indeed meant to be wildflowers, breathing in the wildness! Destined to be untamed! And free from anything that chains them.. sigh, with a wildflower soul! "Those petals shouldn't curl and hide Your beauty from the eye" Yes embracing the breeze and also facing the storms with strength! Just impeccable and very impressive, loved reading you today, sending love, soothing starsz and magical moonbeams 🧚🍂🍁💫✨
