Wildflower: A flower that grows wild, meaning it was not intentionally seeded or planted. The term implies that the plant probably is neither a hybrid nor a selected cultivar that is in any way different from the way it appears in the wild as a native plant, even if it is growing where it would not naturally.
Once I knew where the wildflowers grew
and danced while Spring was in the air
swaying in the gentle breeze to a tune
so sweet and fair only they could share.
Kissed by the sun and the morning dew,
their blooms raised magnificently
to the world as if in joyous prayer.
Vibrant colors now lay etched
upon golden memories long since passed.
Those times remembered more clearly
than yesterday … times when questions
of love were cast to daisies in the wind
yet held more dearly than any other
could have ever been. Now all that’s left
for me to see of flowers in the Spring
lies just beyond my grasp within my dreams.
Once I knew where the wildflowers grew
until Winter came ‘round and as with death
left their seeds scattered on the ground.
Where did they go? Oh where did they go?
