Orchid
Orchid –
Calling gently to my heart
Such beauty - delicate, exotic, graceful
Caressing my spirit
With a gentle colorful peace
Scenting the air – a sweet love breeze
A beacon of hope . . . of love
When sadness blankets my soul
When nights are long, cold and dark
When days are filled with a misty grey fog
This flower standing resolute
Whispers the eternal promise
Its beauty a glimpse into the eternal realm – creator God
A divine creation – a precious love-gift
Of a peace that lights up the sky
As my tears wash forth
My heart-pain is transformed into wisdom
My suffering into strength
My crippling fear into courage
One more time my glaze lingers
Bruised and battered, I breathe in . . . out
There! I have move past the pain
To embrace love and forgiveness
To be strong and alive!
Orchid
Calling gently to my heart
Such beauty - delicate, exotic, graceful
Love Generously ----
