Wildflower

Different people thrive under different conditions. Sometimes we meet someone or spot someone who doesn't seem to belong where they are. Maybe they aren't being given a chance to truly live or maybe they are just waiting for things to improve before they can metamorphose into what they are meant to be. It can be hard to get caught in a state of transition and it can be easy to mistake a rut we are stuck in for a place we are trapped. Love is one of those things that, no matter what, seems like it is worth waiting for...

Wildflower

Rays of your beauty scatter like light

Cast through the atmosphere of my cloudy mind

We just keep running in these circles

Biting tongues and biding time

I find myself once more transfixed

By the way your petals sway

To this never ending melody

Though your roots still seem so fixed

Tell me wildflower why are you so alone?

Trapped here far from windows

Where you cannot hope to grow

And yet I hear you calling

Perhaps it is our hour

I hope my answer's clear

But I wait here in the tower

For your doubts to disappear

Is love a myth best left to fools?

I am alone, you are confused

I'd show my work, I've done the math

You're beautiful, but you know that

Is there nothing that my love can do dear?

I know it's an imperfect thing

To cheer you up and come full circle

To those words I've longed to hear?

If the stars above desert you

I will put them back in place

Set each gear of the heaven's turning

Just for a smile on that face

I've seen your beauty here before

Traveling like a comet across the cosmic sea

And yet I know it's not my place yet

And so I pray here silently

Tell me wildflower

Will you dance with me at last?

Bring this wallflower from the shadows

See if this is worth the chance?

Perhaps it is our hour

My answer's always yes

To your perfect melody

Let this bring harmony at last
