Flower Cover
Flower Cover …
Is a vacuum really nothingness?
The true beginning that we will see
A planted seed with subsequence
A conception new, no flaws and free
But, like a cloud encased by shadow
the darkness seeks to choke the light
With ignorance such darkness shows
And corrupts the world with night
But light, though infinitesimal, flowers,
A brilliant flight from the tunnel grows
Unstained and teeming with power
upon the earth it shines and soughs
With seeds unleashed upon the plains
From darkness, it begins to show.
Petals like eyelids open through strain
Synaptic bursts surging to-and-fro
Raw emotions grow and correlate
Like rain with tears, and joy to sun
With time the body maturates
And blossoms, but not everyone
Not every sapling is bound to ascend
Not all will kiss the sun up close.
Not all will rake the ocean’s end
Not all will hail the heaven’s host
Those young allowed to grow and spread
Will grant soon the shade and food to grow
their tree branch cover from overhead
Will protect all those who live below

Thought provoking poetry Paul. Good stuff, very good stuff. Very much enjoyed… Hope all is well…
Thanks Kurt. Appreciate the comment. Good to hear from you again.. All is well on my end. Hope all is well on your end as well
Excellent poetry once again, Paul. Thank you for sharing.
No problem John. Glad you enjoyed it.
Looking deeply into “Growing” and its subtle aspects. This was the pathway I found through your Poem : Flower Cover. (as this work appeared to me…!?) Enjoyed it. “Those young allowed to grow and spread” For sure…you said it excellently. All…Growth is a narrow passageway…when one steps back and looks at it from a distance…and studies “Growth”. I will read this one many more times!
Thank you so much. This is what I love about writing, everyone can come to their own conclusions about your writing. I sometimes try to leave things open to interpretation I love hearing everyone’s point of view. I’m glad you enjoyed this. Appreciate your comments.
Well-crafted and enjoyable poetry. If my last comment was about your long line poems this comment is about how you created some perfect quatrain. Jamie
