Open me

Open me

Like a flower in sunlight

Petals spread in welcome

Of its warm attention

Head bobbing gently in appreciation

Of the breeze

A soft breath

Tickling every single hair

On a stamen

Dusted in pollen

Ruffling the stems

Filling the air with magic

Slowly turning leaves

As the days pass

Following the path

Of a divine

Celestial body

Dissolving

Into a filament

Of enlightenment

When the essence

Of creation

Is more than a metaphor

Eclipsed by a dwarf star

The moon

A distraction for the sea

Love is more

Than music, melody

And memory

To me.
