Germinate

When the sun sucked you out of the soil,

was that the dangerous side of hope’s prayer?

Did you want to be in this moment, here now

or were you coaxed slowly as you drank it in?

Can you, will you, bust a bloom

or are you a bud for awhile

growing

for a reason

digging deeper.

 

Do I dare compare a man like you

to a flower?

 

In essence, I might.

 

Should I transplant you

to the garden,

of wildflowers where growth intertwines

as one

or

of coveted secrets?

 

Hmmm, petals on the ground.

A bit early for spring planting but love can blossom in any season. Anything with flowers has to be uplifting to me so I bid you goodnight and sweet dreams.

Strong metaphors in this piece. The first part of your poem reminds me of the day the company I worked for announced their closing, because in that moment I felt as you described...'sucked out of the soil' before I was ready. I knew it was a dead-end job, but I hadn't the courage to start over on my own. God knows better, though, and here I am...out of that job that was literally crippling me (if the back surgery I had is any indication). I love the ending on this poem. The choice to make...what's in store next... Great write!

This is such a grand poem...it has a shakespearean feel to it. I love petals ont he ground, it is like shedding of old skin to be replaced with new ones...

Lovely poetry,

You ask where integrity and character are, Morgan, but most of all, for me, you ask where is courage and what legacies, if any, we leave when the time comes to wilt.
