Flourish like Wildflowers

I still reminisce about the old pages and chapters

How I felt when I wrote them, word for word

I still aspire to reread those lines

And not feel the burning sensation

Of discarding them all to Hell.


All those words and thoughts have been amended

Now I speak a new chapter to remember

As I look at him sometimes and wonder

How I managed to capture the definition of beauty

Courage

Compassion

In one glance that faded straight through me


I may struggle to find the right words

Idyllic enough to describe how you mean to me

Even though I spend most of my days with you

And those days are idyllic enough for me


Your affection disperses like wildflowers

As does your anger and excitement

Flourishing in the broken places

Where guilt and pity may lie and wait

Yet covering the cracked and barren ground

With light and colour and love

Prospering with contentment


I may struggle to flourish

Like how you unfurl like wildflowers in Spring

And yet I will still search

For those words that saturate your name in the brightest of lights

And accentuate your golden silhouette across the view
