A Poem For Today - Blossom Atlas

[KEN DICKINSON]

blossom atlas

She painted each alternative life on her face in the shape of the petal of a different flower

it was a strange illusion, this petal face, which meant that no one could recognize her
all they saw was the iris, the orchid, the jacaranda, the jasmine, the mimosa

she knew each life because she occupied them in dreams and in the night she was dinosaur, queen, refugee, butler, knife, ostrich, mountain

in the morning she was the lapse of water in mirrors

she lost herself eventually in a garden where all knowledge was rescinded and what came instead was the perfume of flowers

emanating from her in all directions

This kind of reminds me of the movie, “Some Like it Hot,” but on magic mushrooms from Alice in Wonderland. Quite a lovely flight of fancy, JL!

The way you look at things is the most powerful force in shaping your life.
