To a Particular Woman

Walking, I notice the flowers

how they look or appear;

if colourful they form a face

of a loved one, a woman.

 

Flowers can brighten the day.

They give us hope on our journey.

They are Nature’s mirror of

our true selves, the beauty inside.

 

When I walk past, the colour

comforts me as if they are you.

I store the flowers in my mind

and offer them to you with love.
