To Be Human

If reincarnation was a possibility

I know what I would dream of most fondly.

To rise after my fall as an Iris

The flower of faith, hope, courage and wisdom

All of which are qualities to maintain and desire.

A flower surrounded by greenery

With beauty so captivating that passersby can only stop to admire

To acknowledge the flora’s enchanting shade of purple

as well the name bears

The name connected to something

That its past life could simply not acquire

A flower to help as the shelter, the distraction, the resource

that its last form wished to be

To carry the struggling far, far away from there sorrows

To inspire, and share with them a moment of silence

Yes—to give them yet another opportunity for survival.
