Essence of Flowers

A living journal of poetry, healing, and creative art.

Welcome to my sanctuary and the quiet bloom of my inner garden. Each poem is a petal, each painting a breath, and each reflection is healing. Together, they speak in the language of healing, soft, intuitive, and rooted in spirit.

This space is a blend of journal and soul story. Sometimes, the words arrive in verse, and other times, they drift in through color and light. 

You're invited to wander, reflect, and feel. Let your thoughts open beside mine, and let something beautiful rise from within you.

  "We are so caught up in our own emotions and judgment that we forget we haven't walked the other person's path, nor can we ever know how the other person truly feels. We tell the story so our hearts can find peace and comfort. But it doesn't always tell it all. There's my story, there's your story, and then there's the story."

As I find myself strolling along this path we call life feeling lost, devastated, and unforgiving, I lay my eyes upon you.  You are like a beautiful, mysterious wildflower that has been refined under the scorning sun, radiating its mighty colorful aura of beauty.  A beautiful, eerie flower that has gone through rough storms and fearful winds.  Those crystallized spikes are like battle scars, beautiful, mighty, yet fragile.  I'm afraid I will break that delicate part if I'm not careful, contaminating it in its natural form.  As I observe it, I find myself gravitating toward the eerie but so affectionate, gentle, and so peaceful flower.   I begin to long for a deep connection to its aura; the feeling of being lost and unforgiving ceased.  For a brief moment, I could feel my heartbeats slow down, and the rhythm of my heart and soul were in sync.  I have forgotten where I came from and the path ahead of me.  My desire to have it grows stronger as I stare mindlessly into the colorful reflection of lights surrounding its silhouette.  I'm afraid to remove it from its natural environment as its connections with nature are deeply rooted.  I worry that I don't have what it takes to nurture it and give it a sense of belonging like how it gives me.  How will it continue to grow and radiate beautifully like the way it grows along this path, unrestricted and peacefully cheering those that tumble along its path?  I'm afraid my selfishness will destroy and wither it.  So I walk away, and my heart sinks at every step I take.  I can't help but turn around to look at it to see if the mysterious calming flower I came to yearn for deeply is still radiating in its natural habitat, strong and free.  With its lights radiating from the battle scars, it'll continue to light the dark path of those that feel lost, afraid, and unforgiving.  You are like that mysterious, beautiful wildflower that lights up my path, so loving but so farfetched.  Under the full moon, I will long for you.

I am like a mysterious, beautiful flower you lay eyes on while strolling on a path we call life. The elegant beautiful flower yet covered in strong but fragile crystalized sparkling spikes, if not careful, can cause you pain and frustration or break and lose its natural beauty. It makes you afraid. It makes you hesitate. It makes you yearn for possession and elusion at the same time. As the sun reflects upon the crystalized rims of the silhouette, you can't help but admire the beauty it reflects, like the most colorful lights bringing out the hidden essence of it, a beautiful and untouchable rainbow. What you perceive as one of a kind, so mesmerizing and gravitating,  yet, you don't know what to do with this exquisite flower that makes your heart beat strangely, love so differently, your masculinity dissipates with the essence of the flower. So, you leave it where you've found it. And as you walk away, you can't help but turn back every now and then to see if anyone else has picked it up, maybe a lingering feeling of emptiness and loss. As your footsteps get further in the distance, just like the mysterious, beautiful flower you adored, I am nowhere in sight. The tender moments of your affection for what I thought would be a lifetime have left me with a deep yearning for a spiritual connection of love, simple bliss, and peace in my soul.   Somewhere around the rainbow, I'll cheer you on.
