Where Do The Wildflowers Bloom?

Where do the wildflowers bloom?
In the meadows
Open, full sun
A place of visibility, arms spread wide, welcoming

Where do the wildflowers bloom?
In the wetlands
Saturated
A place where land and water meet, daring, daunting

Where do the wildflowers bloom?
In the forests
Sheltered, covered, hidden
Safe, secure
A place where to be seen they must be sought

Wildflowers bloom
Adaptive variations
Evolving in its turn
Unorganized beauty
Unbound and free

Sometimes I am a wallflower
Closed and unseen

Yet within me is the wildflower
Which longs to bloom
To turn its face into the sun
To soak its feet within still waters
To conceal itself among a canopy of green
Singular beauty within a sea of beauty
Courageous and steadfast in moments of change
A treasure to be discovered
