When I find myelf

I live my life

In a constant state of alright

But rarely was it truly ok

Until one day when I stumbled

Upon an orchid growing up

Through the cracks of an urban walkway

There she was bold and delicate

Beautiful and righteous

Soft and gritty

The type of flower that blooms

For no one and opens

When she wants to show off for herself

At first I wanted to pick her

But then I realized it would be best

To just visit

So I came to her

Over and over

For blessings

For company

For fun and peace

And she opened her petals

Showed me her joy

And brought me to a Maybe

Where before I was mostly NO

This orchard dancing in the sun

Grows in the moon

Thrives on music

And grooves to the twinkle of stars

Through the sound of stem I hear

My life in colors of hope and promise

Through the whisper of her leaves

I see my potential in notes of

Sturdy valor

My grand orchid

After bringing the sublime to my feet

She merely folds up again

And goes back to sleep
