Flowers of Life

Ax.Barajas 1980 (Illinois)



  You see them standing still, never
    bending, swaying and loose.
    Feeling the warmth of the sun on
    each petal. A flower In the mornings
    dew.
   
   A sign of comfort. A sign of harmony
   that is orchestrated in the sun.
   For the one who seeks to ease the
   mind. A traveling rabbits hole. A fairies
   playground. Flowers bloom to set
   the pace and set you free.
   
   Get close and hold them in your
   hand. You can almost hear them
   whisper the secrets of life.
   Each one unique in their own
   special way. Each one ready to
   take your breath away.
   
   It only takes a second to find
   peace in someone's heart.
   You feel no worries, no doubts.
   Standing in the sunlight. Being
   intuned. To have a piece of
   serenity in your soul. A flower is
   never far.

   So delicate, so fragile, so
   beautiful. To remind you if you
   careless they will prick you.
   Roots being intuned bound to
  earth's gravity. A tapestry of colors
  turquoise, lavender,bubble gum, and
  golden yellow. In a sea of green that
  covers valleys and hills.
   
  Get lost in a miracle of wonder
  You know your not alone.
  Blessed in God's presence I am
  so thankful to see such a master piece
  Flowers give praise and joy.
  Erase the sorrows.
  
  Before I leave this enchanted place
  I leave you with this:
 
  "When thy flower is pure. It will not
   tarnish. You know that is true.
   Next time you see a flower. It will
   always be part of you."
   Never astray away from His garden.
   Or you will miss the colors of life.

With spring already here around the corner. Some times it nice to stop and smell the flowers. You will not be disappointed. When your near them. Take my advice and know that God is in every detail.
