The Flower
I feel a refreshing sense of wonder
in your miraculous presence
and touch you tenderly
with my eyes and hands.
So many souls find
comfort, reassurance, hope, and joy
through your gentle expression of life.
How I delight to discover
the splendours of your nature
flowering in full bloom.

Floral Predictions
 
So often people ask,
“How long will these flowers last?”
fearing they’ll wither fast—
like the days of their life perhaps?
Before the cuts are paid
they want a promise made
that beauty won’t quickly fade.
Then I smile and simply say,
“Longer than those things you pay,
unquestioning, any given day.
They’ll last longer by far
than the fuel for your car,
a movie, a meal, a drink at the bar…”
What day will these petals wilt and fall?
Sometimes I wonder if florists all
need training with a crystal ball!

Seize the Day
 
Galloping time moves swiftly on
from dawn to dusk and dusk to dawn.
Command your time. It will obey.
Grasp the hour! Seize the day!

Questioning
 
Freedom’s doubts
give me relief
from the false security
of blind belief.

Heaven on Earth
Feeling the touch of the Spirit’s Kiss,
I enter the Joy of God’s great Bliss.
