Orchid Story

A bulge is in your growth,
pushing forth for the light that stands above,
Unable to hold back beauty or
struggling to survive?
as your white roots run furiously with
green tips searching for
water and humidity...
while Sophronitis holds you back,
the Laelia and Cattleya
gives you strength...
In the end,your fate,
remains with me.
So let the Gongoras hang above
and Dendrobiums grow by your side,
I will make sure you have
your light...
And let the Masdevallias
be greedy with the water,
for I will give you rain....
And I will push you to grow,
and be strong in every way,
for behind your red flowers
is a reflection....
of your name.

Hi leekristi. I really

Hi leekristi. I really enjoyed this Nature poem. The personal connection and love you show for the Orchid is tender and well written.
