Analysis of The Blue Orchid
The Blue Orchid
By Joseph G Griffenberg
A bud of unmatched beauty, a bloom beyond compare
The scent of primal nature, permeates the air
The olfactory senses spark memories deep inside
Dropping neuron fences, recollections we can’t hide
Bringing forth true order, the way it used to be
Elementary doctrine, act instinctually
Women are of honor, of reverence and of grace
Creatures to be loved and served, the mothers of our race
Through the ages passed with care across the world so wide
The sacred plant made its way, a primordial guide
A bud of unmatched beauty, a bloom beyond compare
The Blue Orchid spreads its scent, its consequence to share
