Flowers

These days
when flowers pile up your way
daisies make moods rise up in the daylight
full of hope and life as the sun rises from its dark night.

Showers of blessings rain down on
lilies swimming in big bellied waters
awakening my body’s sensitivities.

So many white and pink bougainvilleas
line the pathways of life’s lucidity
in the midst of confusion
and oftentimes delusion.

Try to experience true love and affection
brought by rose colors of red yellow, white
and even light and deep pink
all with unfurled aura in attraction.

The combination of bulbs
peacock, tulip, daffodil, iris or windflower
surely cause garden’s radiance to remain
from summer to spring, blooming all year.

Most aromatic and beautiful lilacs
cover a thousand hideous ways of life.
If justice and truth are all fuzzy
stroke the chrysanthemum of virtue
over lavender’s distrust of life’s spicy lies.

Beauty inspires all dreams to come true
as white heather flowers on the go
pursue the best of what lies ahead.

Flowers of pleasant fragrances, softness and colors
bring life and utmost beauty
to all occasions,
with their presence changing conditions:
sadness to happiness
weakness to strength
despair to hope
hatred to love
and birth to death.
Flowers are beauty and gifts from Allah’s glory.
