POETRY / 30 DAY POETRY CHALLENGE

The Blossom That Flourishes

Day 24: A path of loving expansion

Love blooms in the heart, a blossoming rose In the fullness of springtime’s warm sunlight. A happy glow to the world it bestows, A beautiful bud on which to alight. Love can expand with a nurturing touch Or shrivel and wilt if not watered well. Love gripped too tightly will not come to much, But with air and open space love will swell. The path to expansion unfurls ahead. How we traverse it is up to us now. Shall love on its journey remain well fed Or will its sweet flower die on the bough? With gentle care and warmth that nourishes Let this be the blossom that flourishes.

Throughout the month of June, I‘m taking the Know Thyself, Heal Thyself 30 Day Poetry Challenge, with thanks to Diana C. Thanks also to Tree Langdon for inspiring me to take part.
