A White Flower Blooms Against A Blue Sky Poem by RIC BASTASA

A White Flower Blooms Against A Blue Sky



let me not think that sooner
this flower shall wilt

let me fathom the secret beauty
of its whiteness
against the blue sky

let me savor the opening of its petals
in slow motion

let me think of time that way
let me not be the rushing of the air

let me move like a snail
let me taste the delicious syrup of the honeybee

the white flower
the purity of your intentions
the blue sky
the beauty of your sorrow

time like a scallop
seasons like seaweeds

the hermit crab moving and meeting the huge wave
foams, and murkiness, and then you wonder where are these things
these thoughts

after a storm.
