You and I Have Beauty to Share
A Poem in Words and Pictures
By
Radiance Angelina Petro
Come.
Come take me
One little piece of pollen at a time.
Come. I want you to.
***
Once I hid as a star,
Guarded by wisdom.
***
When I was ready
I unfolded wisdom’s spiral.
***
And allowed life’s dream
To draw me into the world.
***
For some, their wisdom will be fancy—
For there is such a thing as fancy wisdom.
***
Others bear wisdom that tightly guards–
Wanting to be absolutely sure before giving the word.
***
Regardless, when you are ready,
No matter where anyone else is in their stages of development
***
You
Will
Open.
Just like I did.
***
And you will say, come.
Come take me, one little grain of pollen at a time,
And you will share your gold
With the hive of the heart of another.
***
For that is why we have been planted here,
In the dark soil of the earth.
***
You and me–
We are meant to share the fragrance of the light we bring.
***
Until wisdom says, enough, go back
To being a star.
***
For now, go ahead, shout your trumpets of joy,
Spread your granules of sweetness—
You and I have beauty to share.
Beautiful! Did you take those pictures yourself?
