Flower Friends
Growing in this garden of faces
there are many flowers
hues of softness, thistles, thorns
strangers of exotic beauty, aloof,
some poisonous, others even deadly
and here and there, quite rare
but not so rare to make their sudden
recognition so exquisite, one or two
your heart instantly recognizes
and you think, what is it
about these ones that you like so much
seeing past foliage, texture, petals
into their green and beating heart
And in that moment you know
that flowers have souls too
and eyes that look into your own,
instant friends recognizing you
recognizing them
