Vision of Honeyed White
Kathleen Finn Jordan
Response
Velvet svelte and curve of wing
A petal large and soft of view
A center deep and dark and honeyed
A vision of earth from flower grew
The need to touch and feel the flower
Is stifled since that touch might harm
Though in the days of wine and roses
Significance lies in the power of charm
The ancients asked in the sense of love
The difference in picking or leaving the bloom
The generous soul leaves the flower for others
The selfish cut it to flavor a room
But there is no watering like the waters from heaven
That grace the bed of the petals sleek tone
And the lover of nature treads softly and wisely
And honors the life/death into each flower sewn.
