Petals


I have stumbled

am now humbled

Brought to my knees

My heart’s desire to please

My Higher Power

Has opened me up like a wild flower

Whose pistil in on display

Concealing it no longer an option

Much to my exposed dismay

Petals now attract wind, insects such as bees

Previously shielded myself

from such sights unseen

These utilities transport pollen

to be fertilized, thereby creating seeds

I am open to this new life cycle

with the ability to grow as swiftly as the weeds

Developing new buds with

a fresh perspective

Is easier than it seemed
