Baby Breath
It's time to take a break
So I sit by the desk
Await the babies
To wake up and stretch
Not having a rush
or giving a push
I slow down paces
and look at their faces
These pearl white buds
Tipping the jadedite flowerbeds
The sleeping babies
Having sweet dreams
No rush or push
I just want to veg out
Hunkering down here
Breathe the baby breath
So I sit by the desk
Await the babies
To wake up and stretch
Not having a rush
or giving a push
I slow down paces
and look at their faces
These pearl white buds
Tipping the jadedite flowerbeds
The sleeping babies
Having sweet dreams
No rush or push
I just want to veg out
Hunkering down here
Breathe the baby breath

They are lovely flowers, RoseJasmine. Wouldn't be out of place at a wedding ceremony. 😊
Thank you Billy for the read. They are lovely, energetic, and smell fragrant, like babies.

Dear RJ,
Intoxicating poem describing such pretty flowers as the roses and the baby’s breath- providing that ethereal beauty behind the rose. Flowers truly do slow us down so we can have that unexpected moment of peace and appreciation. Gorgeous write.

Beautiful piece. Hadn't heard of Baby's Breath as a flower name before. Clearly a relaxing sight and smell.
