I picked a morning glory, roses, and daffodils
held a bunch of marigolds, sweet peas, and climbed a vine
up and further up, extended, stretched, and spread,
till touching on the clouds with feet still on the ground.

Beyond limits of reality flowers pave the way
mixed and scattered time zones profess complicity
and synchronicity ties seasons as if one
in a picture perfect posy of awesome majesty.

Ribbons dangle free, red, gold, with shades of me
the past, the present, future, soon into pot-pourri,
the sum of parts, an entity, bright in eternal rays
reflects on destiny the complexities of soul.

With vigor stirred forward back the swivel stick of life
carries forward and brings down impossible connections
seemingly irrelevant like footsteps in the sand
obliterated by the whim of oceans on the rise.

Fare thee well friends and foes; look how roses die
then shoot again from old roots when the time is right
and no human element whether dressed or naked, bare,
climbs up and further up without what’s left behind.

As of old the flowers grow, memory is tied to soul,
and forgetfulness is fiction in realms as yet unknown!

Thank you, BC.  I guess it's just a theory.
