A
GIFT
Those Tulips are the most beautiful things in the world.
I smell their scent and look at them every day,
Rejoicing in the mystifying splendor of creation.
I encircle them in my arms and feel consecrated.
They bloom whether or not I am looking.
I look at them, and then I bloom.
They make my heart radiate billows of awe.
They are true nature, true wisdom.
So glorious and magnificent - unknowingly.
They don’t sense their own beauty, but I see it well.
I'll remember them for as long as I live.
I’ll live for as long as I remember them.
I am tempted to come to them, their spell works on me!
Each open bud rises tall to the sunlight . . .
I marvel at the delicacy of their colors and shapes,
Slender green leaves perfect grace and loveliness.
They are welcome in my house.
Thank you for my gift.
