A wildflower

by Everlasting   Nov 23, 2016


You want to be a flower - red or white,
just like those roses in the pots of clay.
You want a solid color to display,
to feel as beautiful as they do, right?

You want the sun to shower you with light
to feel a little warmer by the day.
And so, beneath the oaks, you fondly pray
"Oh please, my God, appease my soul, tonight."

    Subtle. The imagery is brilliant. (red or white flower, clay pot, under the oaks).

    The last line, though, shifts the whole perspective. Appeasing the soul - possibly calming the spirit, becoming steady & "solid color" and, in a much more innocent concept, washing the soul clean like penance.
