I am a flower
My pedals reach far beyond my hands
The earth is connected to me
The sky surrounds my smell
It flows as a mist from the ocean
My leaves collect the sun when I am hungry
My stem carries my weight through the air
Planted strongly in the earth
The wind runs past and looks back with trepidation
My roots they elongate and weave themselves to the core
Of Mother Earth
She nourishes me and my pedals and my stem and my leaves and I grow pollen
The bees are my friends
They touch me and make me happy
And talk to my family
And spread my genes
I am a flower and I am earth
