Time To Bloom My Little Flower

Time to bloom my little flower

there have been so many winter showers

and even floods and blowing gales

but you came through and here you are

in bright bud and ready to

show the world the inside you.

It took a while for me to see

what shapely petals I had within

and when I did, I did begin

to nourish myself and follow the sun

to bring my lovely flowering Self

to be the one that I could see

enticing me to blossom true

so here I am to share with you.

I sing a song of pure delight

I have found my way to beckon bees

and gently sway in the breeze.

My stem is strong,

I do belong

so I am here to say

let us all bloom today.

Let each field be full of flowers

let our glow light the skies

and may our seeds feed the many

who long for colour

as they have not any,

and let us bring our gentle hearts

to share with all where we are needed

and may sunflowers grow in the blackened fields

so life comes through again

and peace please do go there

and let us harmoniously share

our open hearts of love

to be with all,

every flower to smile to those

who need hope and nourishment

a way to lift their pain and live again.

(Written August 3, 2014. This is part two most likely to the verse I wrote earlier today which begins with the lines "The time to bloom still remains". It is 2 years and 2 days since I began posting my verses to Come Blossom, Come Fruit and I feel very heartened that I am indeed in a blooming place and very grateful for my illumined path to this place where I am now.

Thank you to each of you for sharing the path with me...With love Bee)

Softly Being

The time to bloom

still remains

you’re coming true to this day

or ‘working through’ to clear the way

and ‘keeping faith’ that you will find

the way to leave the past behind.

Of course you keep the memories

of walking dogs through the forests,

the dream you had to be a florist,

the names you wished the world to share,

the past is gone, leave it there,

dream the new but keep the present

be living in this Now…….

Yes paint the walls a rich color cream,

bring earthy tones inside your home,

travel within, no need to roam,

share your days in healing ways

and let sunshine warm you through

as you travel on to

illumined ways to be content,

writing through, any tensions showing you

the shadow side, you tried to hide

so now ‘romance’ that part with all your heart

and as you do

more happy times beam to you   

as love comes to your Self,

to wholly live who you are

let your ways be as the gentle folds of silk

softly being,

beauty seeing

warming colors

nature’s treasures

love surrounding beyond measures.
