Picked from its stem
some time ago,
You placed this frail
flower in my hands,
Yet a lush garden
of daisies and roses
has begun to sprout.
Each petal, a soft
moment in time--
A beautiful instant in
all of the world spent with you.
And now, I return this flower
in the hopes of it
sprouting a garden
of love, joy and happiness
in your heart.

“For You” by shell
“There was a time in which i believed that perhaps it was the wind - only the wind, which called my name sweetly through the treetops of time; calling ‘til the echoes of its serenity settled gently and softly into the far corners of my heart. And there was a time in which i came to believe that only the sun could warm these child’s eyes - as the sun remained to constantly flood me with beams of happiness and rays of security and peace; becoming a celestial haven to run to in times of anguish and times of need. In those times when i desperately sought more than the empty promises that i found so easily among the well-meaning antidotes of family and friends.
But as i took a moment to pause in time and listen to the stillness and quiet in my once tormented soul - i chanced to stumble upon another possibility. And I pondered this thought just long enough to realize that the sun and the wind were only quiet memories; memories of recent time during which i had shared moments of tranquillity and happiness with you...and I can only thank you in simple words for these joyous revelations that i have found in the pathways of mind; and now I only pray with all of my heart that there will be many more moments to remember in the days that will soon be past and in the days that are yet to come...
the seed has been planted...
let the garden grow...” *
