I caught her today,

captured her existence,

the legendary Wildflower Fairy

paying my very own yard

a visit!

Her golden-backed silhouette 

under sun’s guardianship

came forth;

chattered excitement

among the birds broke up 

the morning chorus,

as she bent and whispered

something indiscernible 

to the seedlings,

her dew-kissed face

and green-veined gown

revealing her as the Queen,

so I found myself

bowing like the blades and leaves,

for sometimes awe and magic

come disguised as

weeds

to grace us with a moment of 

humility.

And during all of this,

I realized,

there was such peace

in me.
