Standing in bloom
Standing in bloom amongst your peers
sharing the same common descriptor,
yet holding your own.
You are part of this composition in which we all belong,
yet you are so much different from the rest.
In your own beauty you defy being known as just another shiny pebble:
you are the brightest gem of the lot.
Everything grows in this city by the ocean: exotic and intoxicating creatures of great magnitude,
yet the most amazing creation in these parts is not native;
she hails from the other coast of our great land,
and has traveled great distances to land here.
By some miracle I just happen to find myself near your radience:
the aroma of your bloom is nothing less than tantilizing.
I just feel grateful that I can witness you,
even more blessed for having you in my life.
