Today's Flowers Photos and Poetry

If I were a leaf

clinging to your branches

I would embrace your twigs

caress your trunk

and bury myself in your roots

never to let go.

If I were a flower bud

waking to bloom

and debut my heart

I would call the birds

and reveal my sweet nectar.

If I were soft petals

displaying my finery

around your heart

I would kiss your stems

with scented dew drops.

All photos taken at the San Francisco Botanical Garden.
