Silly Flowers

What do you know

By SheylaPublished 5 years ago 3 min read

The Path

so many choices but only one will lead me to the right path

considering many options means multiple roads

standing up I only see one

one path that only ends in the hands of death

each choice that is made is not a path

by all means the choice is just a new course

I stand high and tall ready to walk again

flowers all around me tell me to wait

silly flowers what do you know

I need to find what my soul craves

there is emptiness inside my body

the hunger for feel is yelling

the sky is cloudy with very little warmth

walking miles and miles with the same grey sky

wishing I wake up from the repeating nightmare

The fear of eyes opening and seeing blindness is still there

Why soul why.. let there be just a drop of light

my insides are in the most darkest hours

Burning flames don't exist anymore

I won't be the one to clean up the ashes

finally taking a step back from the darkness

I am sick of walking into nothing

Show me the light now

beautiful lilies told me to find the reflection

Silly flowers what do you know

~~ When it was finally time that I had stepped back, The sun was brighter than ever, the warmth was a welcoming home to all the flowers. My path was clearing up. I will be more than fortunate to walk this road again now that everything is much more clear.~~

~~ Miles into this walk, I saw many things. I wanted everything I saw… every happy soul, every beautiful mind, the passion in those eyes. I saw those eyes from miles away. I saw the pure, the beauty, the gentle. And then I saw it….

My mirror was a hundred thousand miles away.

Silly flowers what do you know~~

The Distance

1 mile

10 miles

100 miles

So many steps in such little time

Almost there

Give us a time and place

We can work on something new

Dont walk to quickly please

There is so much beauty you have failed to see

Delicate roses do not tell me to stop when there is brightness right ahead

Precious roses my light is not here

Beauty is where my destination flows

Stare at the light… follow the light

Roses hold on to my feet

Please be aware

Silly flowers what do you know

I told myself that I would not stop

I will keep on going

The journey to happiness is only a few feet away

Must admit I do not know what to expect

~ Steps….. Steps… steps. Looking up to something as bright as the star in the night sky. Is this my light? Have I finally reached my destination? I have finally made it to my happiness.~

Purple daisies blowing one direction

This is not your light I swear

Keep on walking don’t look back

Silly flowers what do you know

~ The Daisies were in the way of this light… I could easily walk around the flowers and carry on. I can’t stop staring. I have to know what it is. I want it... taking a step towards the flowers… they start to shrink in size as if they were running out of energy. The light gets brighter. Little purple daisies disappeared… I saw it; another path that stopped right next to mine.~

The Attachment

Light as beautiful as the eye of the sky

Stopping right on my road

Tell me that you will always be mine

Picked you up and admired you for so long

Golden like the sunflowers in spring

Your path crossed mine but stopped to look at the flowers

But I have you in the palm of my hands
