Daydreaming Iris

Mind - tripping eyes subconsciously getting lost in grandfather clock.

Thoughts frolicking through fields that time could never stop.

From a lotus flower shinning bright from rejuvenation.

Born to all things new, putting the past in stagnation.

No matter the hardship, there's never a need to let petals start wilting over time elapsed.

Grandfather clock never stops, there's only so much vitamin d the day allows to grasp.

From this it's learned we must water our own apple blossom, one commonly missed,

As we search for the perfect bouquet of eternal bliss.

Yet it projects good fortune and releases hopeful vibes.

Grandfather clock couldn't let memory forget it, even if it were tried.

Apple blossom in hand, into daisy fields memory wallows about.

Holding tightly to what’s left of innocence, youth cannot run out.

What a gentle smell carried through the breeze, the sun with warmth to share.

When grandfather clock strikes a certain time, reflections will take me there.

When time is due, a valley is to be embraced.

Within which lay a single lily, in which happiness is grace.

Grace can be given all around, especially to those closest.

Even when you’re the only bud bloomed, the only lily floating on the surface.

In fact, the lily of the valley is grandfather clock’s key.

The only one to break through the surface; the code to set time free.

With not much else around, we work with what we’ve got.

But happiness doesn’t exist so give it another shot.

Happiness is something we must create; our own bouquet of eternal bliss.

So as grandfather clock ticks & tocks…. tick…. tock…

I toss a single black rose at twelve on the dot…time stops.

Farewell may be forthcoming, but rebirth has already been assumed.

Thanks to you my bouquet has been created, my blissful soul has bloomed.
