Beyond the soft that I feel
I am moved to a height of elation
When my finger touches the flesh of a flower petal
It meddles with my emotions
In a place that renders me helpless to resist
My eyes are mesmerized
My nose is tantalized
My senses are elevated to a utopia realm of awe
I can't explain why
I can't rationalize as to how this can be
Why it wields such power over me
A flower petal
I am desperate for my nose to be cuddled within its essence
For my fingers to gently extend it towards the one that I love and adore
For it's power to unleash peace, hope, and joy
To witness its hidden capacity to inspire hope upon the coldest of face
It has an anointing to erase the pain within the deep corridors of the heart no matter how deep the pain tries to hide
It knows when your nose touches it's flesh
It embraces the wonders of who you are
It looks upon your face with a gaze you will never know
Just as you are rendered blessed so to does this flower petal
Gives thanks for you making its existence meaningful
When you simply touch it's petal
Though it's life will not be long - so we think
The joys it gives us made it blush with the very colors we behold
May we learn from the simplicity and the beauty that makes it rich beyond the price we pay
When such wonders unfold and doeth our hearts settle
All from the wonders of a simple flower petal
I can only thank God
