This morning you were <br />Clenched like a fist of Amandla <br />And now you are as wide open <br />As the heart of a woman in love <br />Exposing her deepest secretes <br />To the mercy of a hand that wants <br />But knows not why! <br />You are beauty <br />You are magic <br />Just when I thought you weren’t alive <br />You moved! <br />And moved me with surprise of a child <br />Seeing new <br />Yellow petals open wide <br />Fill up my space <br />With radiance and perfume<br /><br />LLM Mbatha<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-flower-3/
