Night Flower

The night gave me a gift,

the understanding of peace

that the meditative flower knows.

No thought is its face,

its petals quietly folded in it’s lap.

It gently stirs in the expectancy

of being touched by dawn.

Its mind

is the ear

that listens to the ethereal whispers.

Its pale blue petals,

iridescent,

are its talents and desires

matured by discipline,

displayed in faith,

stemmed and deep rooted

in an everlasting love whose fragrance issues

forth within the circumference of my soul.

Fear nothing but the failure to experience your true nature - and then cease to fear that!
