I wrote this poem while traveling in Ireland. It was inspired by some Daisies along the cliffs of Moher.

Wildflowers sleeping late on dewy days Rather than traveling on mountaintops Two flowers embrace in harmony Cognizant of nature's patrimony Thankful for the few good years that remain Their love gracefully grows time and again Their patience now merrily thrives again Wildflowers could choose to question each day Whether they're pleased with love's years that remain Times that they picnic on blue mountaintops Mindful of scenery's patrimony In a world rejoicing harmony All nature embraces harmony Its beauty will gainfully grow again Flowing through wild nature's patrimony And rising with the new sun every day Traveling across ancient, rugged cliffs Primordial with thousands of years that remain Here, they seek to triumphantly remain With emergent nature's harmony The journeys across grassland mountaintops With love infinitely growing again Nature knows to embrace the sunny day Aware of life's unique patrimony What breed's nature's carefree patrimony? What will wildflowers evoke that remains? Will they take time to value emergent days, Basking in life's vast harmony? The cliffside climbers all ascend again And there emerge challenging green clifftops. Rather than travel upon mountaintops Consious of primeval patrimony Wildflower's bright love gently grows again Thankful for the modest moments that remain Wildflowers embracing in harmony In flower beds, sleeping late, lazy days.

Thank you so much for reading my poem! I put a lot of thought into it. There was something spiritual about experiencing the Cliffs of Moher. Best wishes!
