The flower's aspiration must be ours Devotion uncomplicated by the mind, Offering desireless and pure Self-giving without need of recompense, Opening to the sun of being's truth, Blossoming in the light of divine love, Growth sustained by total sacrifice. I have felt the aspiration of the trees And looked into the lily's deep recess, Inhaled the fragrance of the jessamine And revelled in the peony's perfume. And as the flower turns towards the light Opened my petalled soul as in prayer. All Nature is a vast experience Of God's largesse and wonder shall not cease.
