Crimson Petals

Love is a seed

Not just for today

Sown in our minds, randomly.

Sometimes planted

By a hidden smile

By a reaching touch

Or by an act of kindness.

For love slowly grows and blossoms in time,

Nurtured by tears to flower.

Never letting go

Held tight in a clasp

With a swooning beauty

Crouches in wait to move

In a crimson petal.

Love flows

Through deep forgiving scars

Willing and brittle

We watch in awe at the wonder of creation.

For hope moves into every whispered heart,

Whilst the beauty of love gloriously flowers.
