Symbiotic growth

You crept under my skinLike a symbiotic OrchidRooted in my coreYou took only what you neededTo grow - no more, andFlowered magnificently inwardsYour beauty fed my soulLeft in me an echo of loveliness You developedHigh up in treetopsNurtured by your host.I walked unseen beneath youEpidermal layers twitchingOn the brink of awareness Later, you blossomedThe scent touched in me thenThe unspoken reconnectionYou were seeded in loveGrown in the light of loveSheltered in a forest of tender touchesThose whose lives you touchAre enrichedAs mine is.

You kept a strong garden

You kept a strong garden theme in this. Vibrant and cleverly done

Wish I that climate

to grow orchids in towering trees. It brings warmth to dream of such places when the frost has hardened the ground too much to place my hands within the soil. Thanks for visiting and taking the time to comment. Seabhac

A walk in the park...

Or a walk in the forrest. Such calm, peace and lovely inner thoughts overwhelm us when walking among nature. We have a Botanical Gardens not far from me. It's alive with life, Squires, birds fish, foxes... {an array of insects...eeuck! not my cup of tea} but the rest is magical. Beautifully written Rosina xena465

Thanks Rosina

This is a poem for my daughter who was adopted and became an orchid high above my reach with her new host as I scrambled on the forest floor knowing she was not far away but until she blossomed and her scent came to me we did not reconnect but when we did the joy was and is very great indeed so a positive affirmation through growth and the joy that nature brings me Seabhac

Just by planting a tree...

it contributes and nurtures life on earth, just like adopting a child, you give her a good life and her growth is your reward. Rosina xena465
