Raising Daisy

Captivated
Mesmerized
My heart yearns for Other skies

Beating
Bruising
Far off Distant

Yet my heart
Remains
Insistent

There is yet a place
For me
Waiting for the
Time to see

Too far away for me to grasp yet
Intuition says that I’ll get
Soil I need
For me to grow
To fertilize the things I know

I’m pushing up
Against resistance
Daisies grow
On my insistence
With the Daisy
My rebirth
Dawning on a life of mirth
