Poetry Sunday~ Intricate Flower

Intricate Flower
(c) Joni Zipp
***
The blossoms seem to surface
when out of the weary cold
they spring to bountiful life
ever the fragrance so bold.

Gathered round the stalk so true
the petal forms a flower
to stand among the crowd
to watch each passing hour.

The intricate life of the blade
the receptacle is a home.
for growth through each bud,
the soil soft silken loam.

My life is like the bloom
that slowly unfolds to be.
I rise and stretch each morn
release the soul of me.

Loved the images and emotions buried in your words....

My favorite lines:

I rise and stretch each morn
release the soul of me.

Incredible feelings stired in me when I read the words "release the soul fo me."

WOW!

Thanks June.

The flower can sometimes be metaphorically seen as our lives, unfolding with each new blossom. That is exactly how I feel sometime.:)

Thanks for visiting. *big hugs*
