Buttercup

Fragile flower, buttercup
Swaying to and fro, dancing like
Inspiration, swallowing up the dark
With its rhythm, gentle and soft
Caressing the breathless moments
With hope, kindness and grace
Feelings that remind the spirit to hope
For the whisper of love’s embrace

Delicate petals, buttercup
Blowing in the wind, softly rocking
Filling the heart with beautiful,
Convincing the soul to believe in the end,
Swinging silent, soothing the dreams
Awakening the promises within,
Who reveal the music, the invincible story –
Hesitating to breath hues of praise

Gentle stems, buttercup
Milky blonde rumors reflecting
The brilliance of a fantasy, stirring
Up laughter inside the smile,
Remembering to twirl through the
Sweet by and by, waltzing like
The guarantee that love is alive,
Pouring out its benefits on those who
Believe and open hearts to receive

Frail flower, peaceful and kind
Erasing the doubts, the fears and tears
Releasing the music, in rhythms of faith
Soaring like the moon in the darkest
Skies, where glistening wet dew
Drizzles through space, accompanied by
Starlight, dustings of the light
Trembling with life, expressing
The joy found beyond the sunrise,
Through the summer, into the autumn
Where our dreams blend with prayers
For everlasting – eternity – always…

Breathing through the concepts, the cares
Into the lasting promise, the soundless
Waves of serenity healing hearts,
Protecting yearnings and stirring souls to feel
The melody of God’s best blessings,
His presence… 

Lasting throughout the forever
Where smiles and pleasure result in satisfaction
That only comes to those who know
The soul is more beautiful, more sure, more 
Because He is with us, beyond the sigh of death,
Into the eternal where we can rest in the knowledge
That, wherever He is – that is where there is hope
Faith and love, more joy than I’ve ever known,
The peace that is eternal… the peace the touches
Those who believe…

Like that beautiful buttercup, shedding its petals –
	Peeling away the past, discarding its robe,
		Silencing the spectral pose
There is hope beyond this world, hope that can see…

He is everything the soul will ever need!
