Would we grow –
Strong and wild –
If we were cast outside neat rows
Instead of withering
On gracious stems
Centerpieces in someone’s life
Oh, to cling to nourishment
Hearty soil to allow us
To set down roots
Raising our heads
Into the sunlight
Basking in our shapes and beauties
To run untamed
And thrive
Set outside tidy little labels
Wildflowers all of us –
Reckless –
Growing upward towards our sun ~ Caroline A. Slee
