Wildflower (for Aliana) v2
Oh! Wildflower, The hills and woodlands Become more beautiful Because of your existence; Even the cracks in the cement fields Cannot impede your wildness. Your faith, your spirit, your grace Burn hotly from your soul To blossom you forth from among the ordinary. Oh! Wildflower, in you Lies both the magnitude of the Universe And the humbleness of a tiny seed. Oh! Wildflower, in you Lies a spirit undefined and unfaded. You, who stands aloft of the shade among all shadows. You, who rises even after the treading of mere mortals. You rise above the pale and the vague, Stretching your volition towards the heavens; You, who sees with an inner aura to hold aloft That splinter from the sacred vision. I often wonder how you come to be— To push beyond the adversities Of your environment, And to grow among the tamed. What lies beneath your skin To give you such unassailable strength? What flows within your cells To generate such sacrosanct will? Oh! Wildflower, in you Lies both the magnitude of the Universe And the humbleness of a tiny seed. Oh! Wildflower, in you Lies a spirit undefined and unfaded. You, who stands aloft of the shade among all shadows. You, who rises even after the treading of mere mortals. You rise above the pale and the vague, Stretching your volition towards the heavens; You, who sees with an inner aura to hold aloft That splinter from the sacred vision. Oh! Wildflower, Oh! Wildflower, Grow wildly, wildly evermore!
