The Floral Ballad
By Stephanie Jeannot
The vision
of the Unique pattern of your eyes
was a seed that was planted in the earth
and seasoned to grow
and stand tall
to face the sun in the summer
a reason to smile; the shadow of your warmth.
Even when the cold is near and the petals disappear,
you are the bold print on the melt away range.
Understand my reaction to the beauty of God’s creation;
a blossom with an intoxicating essence
and a melancholy groove that sways to the earth’s breath
up above the stars and a cut above the rest
with bold petals that changed the nature of the soil
where hopes and dreams are made into instrumental parts;
Like the music of the summer breeze
and of classical melodies
You are a peaceful angelic verse of a ballad.
