Ancient flower

Slow and drawn out

the aftermath of recovering from harsh conditions

yet still standing

the beauty of ancient strength and wisdom radiating from it

yet still full of surprises

still going

still growing

despite all doubts

you can still see it

dulled petals that still shine with an internal radiance

bees still flock to it

craving its wisdom

the land may be unpredictable

but it still bows to the ancient flowers

the ones that have stood from since seemingly the beginning of time

the ones who have survived

the strong ones

in body and mind

but especially in spirit

shining from inside

an internal sun that revives everything around them

these are the strong willed

the wise and thoughtful

the ancient flowers.

    My favorite type of writing

    is when I'm in the zone

    I'm typing

    no hesitations

    just plugging in all of my honest thoughts and opinions into my somewhat-anonymous profile

    spinning deeper and deeper into my spirals
