Bold and Beautiful
Off the path again,
twisting, turning, bending
I pick my way through greenery dense
With twisted vine, banana leaf, and palm
Iridescent flies of dragon and butter
Seek some illusive prize, so I follow
Then, peeking through jungle bars
I startle at a thunder-clap of color
Here stands a cluster of lobster claws
Baskets of lipstick with handles of emerald and cobalt
Bracts of steel closeting petite white blooms
Bearing nectar-rich treasure reserved for dainty wings
My heart claps in gratitude for this one
So bold and beautiful
Designed as one more consummation
Of celestial purpose and grace
