Sky Flowers by Cynthia Sharp

February 14, 2022
Poem name:Sky flowers Poet name: Cynthia Sharp Poem begins: Branches mingle into sky flowers a canopy of butterflies setting sail the blossoming of talent from a hidden cove of ideas the work of the trunks to manifest largely the kernel within to dream in blends and bends of sea-green world the magnificence and relief of standing tall. We are fluorescent fronds of tree fish swimming through phosphorescent foam to a clear path of what we deserve to be the mysticism of color the aura of forest made tangible. Like ancient dragonflies the esoteric heart of the world tasting creation we embrace permission and freedom to go directly to where we most need and want to be an island cocoon of love, light and safety. In the communion of trees we learn by steadily working day by day season by season stretching branches to finally flourish that self-actualization is for the good of all. Our growth protects others. What feels right must be the evolution of consciousness mirroring meditation. End of poem.
