"Wild Flower"

 

Written August 1st, 2013 by Holly Baxley

to the husbandman who cultivates the

garden within me ~ Brent Baxley

 

 

I'm wild like the woods

untamed - like the sea

A restless energy

beats inside of me.

 

A spirited wind

stirring up the trees

pushing ever onward

to new destinies.

 

I'm not made to be tame

I wish you could see

that I like who I am

though wild I may be.

 

I'm but a flower

so common to man

that I'm oft overlooked

yet blooming I stand.

 

I'm a Wild flower

reaching towards the sun

a fragile complexion

unfettered - undone.

 

Not given a voice

in who I would be

Yet if I chose a life

I would still choose me.

 

-- Because --

              I'm your Wild flower.

 

                                              That is...

 

                                                              ...if you'll have me
