She Seeks
A single long blooming flower,
she grows more, with each passing hour.
This simple iris, so soft and sleek,
searching upward, what does she seek?
Reaching to the heavens above,
sending silent messages to her love.
Looking for something, so high in the sky,
trying to touch him, as time goes by.
Wishing he is safe and warm,
holding him close, through every storm.
Wanting him healthy in heart and soul,
she sends prayers and caring from the soil.
When evening comes, and the stars in the sky,
they watch over him, protect him, from way up high.
This iris still bound to the earth so strong,
wishes for his heart to hear her song.
Sunshine awakes and the morning is new,
she can smile softly thinking of you.
For a butterfly, fluttered past her today,
and whispered, he may be gone, but never away. |
