I would like some flowers

on my kitchen table

wildflowers from the fields

to bring summer into my house

but how much I ever wish I could

I can never pick any

I always end up in wonder

about their delicate beauty

about how they colour the world

how they gently bow their heads in the wind

how they stretch their roots

so firmly down into the soil

determined to stay in their spot

I can never bring myself

to break a stem so persistent

I enjoy them in the field

just where they like to grow

and anyone coming after me

can take pleasure in them to.
