Bouquet

you sold me flowers
from the top
shelf

and i could tell you picked
them yourself,

to lend my space
some of your
touch,

let’s vow to do
our best

to keep the
vase water fresh,

to help them
ward off
death.

i was hushed..

just in time..

to spare the flowers
my burning
breath,

and watched them
grow beyond
common
size

in a vase,

hand made..

with love..

by you.

you brought flowers to
this madness

and watched them wilt
where planted,

then stood guard with
vigilance

as the elements tendered
them life.

from ground
up–

brittle structure
sprouts

to offer
self
to

all
without,

never doubting
purpose,

not
verbose,

never fretful
of those
who

creep too
close.

won’t run from
“bad guys”,

i’ll simply
mosey

and hope the path
ahead stays
rosy,

i hear footsteps
quick–

rush by in a
flurry,

left back with bees
and flowers,

only problem yet
pressing..

which to
pick?

..in no great
hurry,

savoring
hours.
