Amidst the Orchids Ola I stand and view
In awe the flowers across the way,
Wearing between the spray
Limbs of green and brown.
Leaves flow from the branches,
As the blossoms spread to bare
Sweet fragrance on the wind.
Colors wind within the blooms,
And share a sweet perfume
To dazzle all my senses
Before the flower dies.
I stand unable to look beyond
The beauty amidst the orchids.
It is no secret that the delicate bouquet
Is as fragile as it is fair.
I look across the way,
And see beyond the petals and the green.
Amidst the orchids,
I stand so close and yet so far
To view the petals on display.
Amidst the orchids
I stand in awe
Of the petals, the fragrance, and the day.
