Words in Bloom: Soulful Thoughts of One Woman's Journey

Amidst the Orchids Ola

I stand and view
In awe the flowers across the way,
Wearing between the spray
Limbs of green and brown
Leaves flow from the branches,
As the blossoms spread to bare
Sweet fragrance on the wind
Colors wind within the blooms,
And share a sweet perfume
To dazzle all my senses
Before the flower dies
I stand unable to look beyond
The beauty amidst the orchids
It is no secret that the delicate bouquet
Is as fragile as it is fair
I look across the way,
And see beyond the petals and the green
Amidst the orchids,
I stand so close and yet so far
To view the petals on display
Amidst the orchids
I stand in awe
Of the petals, the fragrance, and the day
