For
centuries, Flowers have been used to show a form of expression.
We give flowers to show love, happiness, sympathy, thankfulness & celebrations.
I draw flowers to express my feelings and emotions. Simple
flowers can still bring wonder, only if we allow ourselves
to come a little closer.
Come Closer
From afar my
appearance seems somber
My petals appear limp
My smile is sad
Come Closer
From where you
are your perception is tainted
My petals are gentle
My smile is still hopeful
Come a little closer
From
this distance you can feel a lifeline
My petals are graceful
My smile is modest
Take one more step
From here
you can hear me breathe
I know you are still comparing the
others to me
Their vibrant colors, they stand tall with confidence
How can
I even come close? In your eyes I don't compare.
Please
reach out your hand and close your eyes
Come closer
My petals are
hanging on ever so softly
Trace my smile,
A child's anticipation of a gift
Take one step back
Open your
eyes
Are my petals still limp?
Is my smile still sad?
If everyone took the time to look harder,
come a little closer, allow themselves to feel love for
the one that is not the obvious-there wouldn't be
so many sad smiles, limp petals, so many gentle flowers
not chosen to be loved.
