give me your hands
let me lather them with love
plant me in the rich soil
i promise the flowers
want me to grow with them
they told me
they told you?
i closed my eyes
took deep breaths
the gardenias climbed out of the garden
their petals molded
a flower crown around my head
my curls bounced with bliss
frolicking with the flowers in my soul
this is a garden music festival
where else would i want to
spend my saturday morning
my toes twirling
through the meadow
dancing through death
this is a lovely mess
my mother cried when i left the nest
she got a tattoo for her flower child
mama dont stress
im thriving with nature
im blessed
