Beautiful in Waiting

The flower was cast

Floating quickly to the casket’s cover

Resist the worm

The roots

Shifting stone

Remain beautiful.

Visit…

Float into the sunlight

Inhale the flowers wild

Overcome mountains

Spread your angel heart wide

Be the sheltering hero of all that rise to fly

Don’t hide your beautiful

Allow its lift of eye and lash

Think spirit uplinked

And sit atop my pen

For your poem awaits
