Words in Bloom

<center><B>Amidst the Orchids Ola</B></center></p>I stand and view</br>In awe the flowers across the way</br>Wearing between the spray</br>Limbs of green and brown.</br>Leaves flow from the branches</br>As the blossoms spread to bare</br>Sweet fragrance on the wind.</br>Colors wind within the blooms </br>And share a sweet perfume</br>To dazzle all my senses</br>Before the flower dies.</br>I stand unable to look beyond</br>The beauty amidst the orchids.</br>It is no secret that the delicate bouquet</br>Is as fragile as it is fair.</br>I look across the way </br>And see beyond the petals and the green.</br>Amidst the orchids </br>I stand so close and yet so far</br>To view the petals on display.</br>Amidst the orchids</br>I stand in awe</br>Of the petals the fragrance and the day.</P>
