My Shasta Daisy


A Poem by Tigra
"
The Tao is mysterious...
"

 

I lay on grass warmed by the sun
Somehow the breeze finds
Its way between my toes
I gaze at your beauty
 
Standing alone in between
Blades of green grass
Is Shasta
My Daisy
 
I watch you dance
As the wind teases and blows
I watch you stand tall
Through it all
 
You open your petals
Unafraid of the visitors
Who come to you
For rejuvenation
 
You put your face
To the sun
Reaching for the sky
Leaves straight out for balance
 
Then it hits me
You are there for a reason
Your inner guru
Has revealed itself
 
You show me
Being alone is
Sometimes needed
And should not be feared
 
You teach me
To dance and bend
When the wind
Gets to be too much
 
You whisper
To receive and welcome
Outside help
Is a sign of true strength
 
Your laughter says
Reach for things
Out of your grasp
This is a path of growth
 
I am a smiling silent student
You teach me so much
By doing nothing
And leaving nothing undone

tigra, this is simply phenomonal, because there is a steady stream of passion detailed. and its consistancy is perfect, the way your words flow straight to the readers heart and through it, a cascade of wonderment, might i say. and well, i loved it. a teaching in illustration. wise and beautiful! Wow.
