What a marvelous thing it is
to be alive and to feel.
To take a deep breath
to take in a vast field.
The field from which we feel is one of our own sowing
So fear not what your reap,
but celebrate your keep.

Trying times make a harvest seem daunting,
like a summers worth of planting has come up to nothing
just keep watering and digging
so your flowers can see light

Our feelings are much like these flowers
Beautiful and strong
who shine brighter everyday
if allowed to express their way
without needing to have it your way
but rather just wanting you to have a picnic today
among their vast fragrances

The lesson here from amongst the flowers
is to be still, and listen for hours
the song they sing is for you alone to hear
they speak of your triumphs, your woes and fears
accept their song
because
its truly your own voice you hear

So pick a bouquet of flowers
Roses and Tulips too
accept the healing grace of love
that grows inside of you
