Beautiful White Wild Daisy

From a seed inside the earth.
Pushed my way up through soil
I knew I had to become a
Whole flower with
Yellow, green center
White petals,
Long green stem
Drinks water.
Nourished by sunlight
I knew I wanted to be
Free, to
Live in the woods
Naturally, at peace
With all trees, plants
Around me.
Seed needed strength
To Push aside dirt, to bud,
To Flower.
I am designed to bring
Beauty, delight, and joy to
All creatures, beings who
Encounter me.
I am life.
I belong.
I have a home in the
Heart and soul of
The world.
I bring other flowers new
Buds. I give room for
Other buds to bloom,
Be whole, beautiful.
Leaves feed me food I require
To be
Full of life,
Connected to
All that is delightful.
I am a beautiful white wild daisy.

  1. Dear Simon,

    Thank you so much for your kind words of reflection. I remember when I spotted this tiny lone daisy on a quiet walk in nature. This moment with such a small beautiful flower inspired this poem as I reflected on how even something so small belongs to the world. Maybe I belong here too. How the natural world can exude love and happiness to the heart of human beings in a reciprocal relationship of awe, wonder, and even reverence. I know your passion for nature-so I trusted you’d enjoy this poem especially. And you are so welcome. My joy and delight, my friend!

    With gratitude,
    Laura

    I have always loved the manner in which you write and your poem has put icing on the cake.

    You make others bloom with your passion if life and everything good and positive.

    Daisies are beautiful and your poem reflects your written prowess and recognition that a tiny flower can spread so much love and happiness through your words.
