Forsythia





Cadmium yellow blossoms surround

my young realm

as tall as my childhood eyes could see.

their sweet fragrance perfuming

my little kingdom

should I have stayed

in the small confined safe realm?



I wish I could have,

but all too soon

I was able to see over the tops

of my favorite bloom

and wonder at the world outside

with its hustle and bustle.



I still find childish delight

in the buttercup blooms,

but they are not surrounding me,

and holding me safe anymore in my realm.
