My Husband, Best Friend and Lover
You know
What it is that makes me bloom, reaching
the exact mix of that only you can supply
I was this little wild daisy, cling to dust
You came along.
you saw me
and you knew my name
You found me long ago in books,
in highs, and in the night skies
pieces of my petals have blown by your face
"He loves me, He loves me not like any other"
You turned and felt me cry out
and your tears mixed in the rain
floods and droughts
you remained constant
My lover of flowers
You see me not as a weed
But as a precious part of this earth
You know I thirst
and I sip you gratefully
You know I crave the beams of your sun
and the very exact moment to shine
radiating essential nutrients
the science says
But yours is solar magic
It is something only you and the daisy knows
And I smile
Your soil is deep moist and rich
My roots growing splitting holding on
and you make room again
as much as I need
As you lay nest to me
and gently exhale your love
with pixie dust and feathers
I look up
and I shout to the world
"I am a wildflower!
and you know
you have always known forever
and you smile at me now
with those blue eyes of eternity
singing my song
you know
