I Am The Flower

I am the flower

Caught between the earth and sky
I sing the silver song of my soul
Embracing the bitter and sweet that is life

Even though the wind
bruises me against the rock
I will hang on
against the bitter chill
for the next moment
of sweet warm rain...

Until then I will draw upon
the strong essence my soul
Deep as an ocean
high as the sky
And I am renewed,
aniticipating the next moment of sweetness

I am the flower
digging my roots deep
into the mountain
I will turn the mountain to rock
...the rock to gravel
...the gravel to sand
...the sand to soil

I am persistent. I will not quit.
Till the mountain is soil.

I am tenacious. I will not give up.
Tho battered by uncertainty.

I am patient. I will wait.
For the next delicious moment of joy.

I am forever...
For I am the flower
