Bloom
It comes to me this season
An urge to blow the bloom
into
This day
And watch it float on the wind
In this light
It would be
An awesome spectacle
Like an apparition
Of phantasmic spiral
Twirling into its seek
The darkness a great ride for it
And platform to coast it's colors
Though they fade
They would surely fade
And be nothing
I had felt this
And done it
And would not do it again
I cannot blow along
Familiar winds
But new currents have come along
And hooked the corners of my smile
urging itself
To spread wide against the O
And my uncalm
Inhaled
At odds with with the corners of
What I am
Used to
I breathe through it
And the lovely
Ease and it's scent exists easier
Inside me
Daily
When pigments of new petals
Turn blue
I dip and streak it
Into indigo slant
across page
Delivering my self free of the shade
But not the rise of it
To the sun
not the totalling of it to my whole
And it would be if ...
But I don't
I am much too eager
To let it lie and rest a little
To meet myself I've cast into
the role played convincingly
My own shadow
And see her grow out of it
An urge to blow the bloom
into
This day
And watch it float on the wind
In this light
It would be
An awesome spectacle
Like an apparition
Of phantasmic spiral
Twirling into its seek
The darkness a great ride for it
And platform to coast it's colors
Though they fade
They would surely fade
And be nothing
I had felt this
And done it
And would not do it again
I cannot blow along
Familiar winds
But new currents have come along
And hooked the corners of my smile
urging itself
To spread wide against the O
And my uncalm
Inhaled
At odds with with the corners of
What I am
Used to
I breathe through it
And the lovely
Ease and it's scent exists easier
Inside me
Daily
When pigments of new petals
Turn blue
I dip and streak it
Into indigo slant
across page
Delivering my self free of the shade
But not the rise of it
To the sun
not the totalling of it to my whole
And it would be if ...
But I don't
I am much too eager
To let it lie and rest a little
To meet myself I've cast into
the role played convincingly
My own shadow
And see her grow out of it

Dear J,
I may have misunderstood your intended meaning however, your write made me think of budding gardens and newly grown flowers as well as the white puffy dandelions that you can blow off and watch fly away. I’ve always had fun doing that. It wasn’t until recently I found out I was spreading weeds. Oh boy.
“But new currents have come along
And hooked the corners of my smile
urging itself
To spread wide against the O
And my uncalm
Inhaled
At odds with with the corners of
What I am
Used to ” this stanza made me think of being enlightened and soothed by the beauty of flowers I didn’t expect to calm me. I truly enjoyed where this piece took me. Great write. H🌷

Jen, this is a completely original unique poem of the metaphor of spring blossoming to your personal blossoming. How you use language in your poetics is amazing to behold. And I must say I love seeing this written by you. It reads to me as a sign of your rebirth into the next phase of your life which judging by these words looks to be a new incarnation of your spirit. I rejoice in your poem and the peace of heart and soul it clearly is moving toward.
Gentle tidings to you my cherished and beloved friend,
John

Both cryptic and sweet.
Somehow familiar

Touching back upon the known, those we forgo is never easiest.
Yet with such gifts that the new and interesting bring us...well...letting ourselves slip into it is quite fucking awesome, especially when You can let go and truly fall with it.!!!
This felt just as that to me...a gradual controlled fall of real inspection to what it is all about energy-wise.
...and today as I read this again I see that bad-ass pic-Great choice!!!!!!!!!!
I breathe through it
And the lovely
Ease and it's scent exists easier
Inside me
Daily
Let it ...never be afraid to let Yourself breathe it in deeper!!!
Beautiful giving Ink!!!

Beautiful, Jennifer! The lotus is one of the most breathtaking flowers, and it rises from the mire of mud.

It seems to be a gentle, natural blooming and flowering of self. I've learn to cherish the dark nights of my soul. That anxiety, grief, despair, suffering, it is the signal that you are growing and going to emerge into a new and higher vibration. Your write has a lovely meter and seems beautifully cathartic. 💖🙏🏻 I love how you keep it changing, showing us your dimensions.

Your words bloom with an exquisite beauty, painting a picture of transformation and self-discovery. The imagery of blowing the bloom into the day and watching it float on the wind evokes a sense of freedom and release. Your exploration of new currents and the corners of your smile reflects a journey of growth and renewal. Thank you for sharing this heartfelt reflection on embracing change and finding beauty in the process.
