Symbol Flowers


Around our lives floral wonders weave

The sign and impress of divinity,

And if our doubting minds do not deceive

We find through them the psychic's hidden key.

To open that mystic eye and once perceive

Behind the marvel and the mystery,

Symbol flowers born of secret light

Rising in fragrant fullness, a litany

Of shades, patterns of celestial might,

Embroidered marvels traced on heaven's sleeve.


Caladiums with rare transparent hue

The philodendron's magic symmetry,

Saintpaulias an air of light imbue

Cymbidium's the orchid's ecstasy.
