the meadow of my head
is filled with an ocean
of wildflowers spreading
like wildfire through my senses
courted by butterflies, dragonflies, bees
a riotous burst of sweet-scented yellows
lavenders, and blues dancing in the breeze
i swear i smell them
i swear i feel them growing
into all my cavities
where once rested my heart
now lives greenery
tiny blossoms branching fractally
where there were lungs
now a zillion red ladybug wings
are opening and closing
my organs have sprouted roots
in this fertile soil, how vital i feel
how nourished and elemental
i am crazy with life, overun, overgrown
pervaded by beauty, oh so tenderly
how vibrantly illuminated
is the garden of me
drenched in the blazing sun of your
Love
