Wildflowers in the Weeds


We are wildflowers blooming in starbursts Eclectic vibrancy amongst disparate genus

Weeds rising in fields of delicate,deific design

Not planted by human hand,

Nor tended by mankind’s hubris

Existent to eyes in beautiful bouquets


Gathered up, wrapped, lady slipper’s sandals,

Baby’s breath, cerulean delphinium,

Poppies, peonies, pansies, daisies,and daffodil

Wandered wonders stumbled upon in isolation

Panoplies of perfection amongst wild emerald growth

An orchestra of hues conducted by none


In our secret garden of the heart,

Rooted, seeded, soiled,and maintained

By the Father’s loving hand

Perfect in imperfection, beauty in bounty

Jewels dazzle as petaled translucence

Given God as gardener


We are all Wildflowers of the soul

Grown without sowing

Colorful without paint

Purposeful in intention

Reaching, striving towards our source

And, lying down peacefully when our youth is spent, fertilizing the ground for weeds and wildflowers both
