What’s a Flower an Emblem For
With one half-green thing
we suggest the rest
of the world’s unending
supply of flowers,
and all that it took for this
flower to grow.
Petals imply sky, light,
water collapsing
over the fields, protectively.
This flower is
the garden, and the garden
is the wilderness,
and the wilderness is the dark
fields beyond us
and in those dark fields, stars
that are and stars
that once were, and all the stars
that one day will hatch.
Is it my imagination or have you been getting more cosmic, or at least global, in the last while? More forest, fewer trees? I like both forest and trees, so I'm just asking, not preferring.
