where the wild flowers grow

The point straight
to the south where
the sun sets.

Burnt grass, stained
horizon.

She watches a flower bloom,
slowly open.
Breathe it's first breath.

Roots hold tightly
in the ground.
Soft, fit trench or
small riverbed
cat tails, swaying in
motion with streaming
sunlight.

She watches
a flower bloom.
Humming bird,
wings buzzing:
Nectar, sweet sticking
memory.

Stop watching, blossom

Love this so much...I have to keep it!  Let me share a brief story...when I met this somebody who is my life right now...I was a different woman.  Very shy, introverted, timid of my own words.  As time passed, I started becoming the woman who I should have been....He said he loved to see me bloom.  (I am a really late bloomer too...I turned 41 on Friday.)  LOL  But that is OK...I will keep blooming...you do the same, OK!

A wonderful write that goes into my library!
