My Forever Flower

I once read; that if someone loves a flower, they should love it from a distance 

They should admire it, 

enrich in it, and 

Cherish it from afar! 

Just so as to not misplace it, 

taint it, or in anyway, bring about death to it, 

Detachment scar,

Or harm!  

For a flower that is loved from afar,

Is said to be loved the very best... 

Its presence alone is too blessed to be tampered with or uprooted... 

I will always love you (my forever flower) 

I willingly do so from arms length, 

with tear filled eyes and weeping lips 

Because If I could go back in time, I'd put all my trust in you (my forever flower) 

And commit my heart from petal...To stem...To original seed. 

Yet just seeing you stand firmly, 

sway steadily and blossom ever so graciously, 

regardless of storm...

Fills me with true inner peace... 

True inner peace indeed!
