In the Fields

In the Fields

daisies are

such

happy flowers

light on their petals

they have buoyancy

in their range of movement

from the buggy

to the breeze

to the car

to the counter

to the vase

they have a special place

in the fields of my heart

they outlast

even the rose

and when they die

as ballerinas do

they simply bow their haloed heads

a ring of white feathers

whirling and twirling

into the wings

out of the spotlight

off stage

they find a quiet corner

and rest

TL
