Every becoming part of a flower
is a meditation by rote.
From seed to lovely bloom
a processional unfoldment.
When the bloom wilts
beauty unveils,
the flower sleeps
as if day were night
and all was ever
but a dream.
Do flowers dream a life,
do they also dream of their death?
That whole process of flowering
seems to me ordained,
a processional progression
towards a culmination
one only a natural holiness could dream of.
The bloom becomes a meditation
upon an appointed anointing.
Then at night do they close to rest
in that dream of surrender
a prayer that lives forever
for all of us?
TRANSIENT

a downcast gaze
with furrowed brow
a presence

so processional
readily available
talismanic
effigies
of imagination
realised

desire
It is a time to keep a reverent pace
with the hymnal steps of the heart.
The days are become processional,
a folding of past raiment’s
strained with the fabric
of isolation, hardship, and loss.
Rituals are more important
as the year declines,
as nights lengthen and settle
into rumor and whispered lore.
Hold high the votive lights of hope,
cherish each child-like winter flowering
warmed in the sanctum of a quiet breath.
