The Fairest Blossom

You are but one transparent soul

picked carefully

from the garden of immortality,

displayed delicately

in the graceful vase

of feminine flesh?

 

And you,

the fairest blossom

gathered, as a prize

adorning the bride of Earth…

 

Even as the ink dries

upon each deed,

 a poem spent;

 one more petal wilted

upon the page of history,

your legacy lingers, fragrant ever

upon the hearts and minds

of all who love you ~

What I like about this one is its universal appeal -- applied to a loved one with us or not, it is a lovely piece.

You felt what I experienced while writing this. My intention was toward a lovely inspirational soul in my life... Then I felt inspired to lean toward those we have lost. In the end, I felt it was meant for a friend who had just lost her very young mother to breast cancer.
It felt very broad to my mind as I finished as well. It's cool you we this! Thanks KL.

You write with so much depth and heart...carefully executed and brilliantly displayed.
