On the Wild Side

'I capture light so the darkness will hold haven' From Colour Contrast Continuity


Unwanted and unloved by modern society,
The wild flower blooms,
Unseen and unappreciated by modern society,
The wild flower calls
To those that want, love, see and appreciate
The haven held,

Walk on the wild side and know a free society,
Where the wild flower blooms,
Seen and appreciated by many wanderers,
The wild flower calls
To those that need strength from the love,
The haven holds.

Unknown and untouched by modern society,
The wild flower blooms,
Seen yet not seen by modern society,
The wild flower calls
To those that carry the burden of light,
The haven will hold.

Lovely photo of the wildflower. Do you know the name of it? Your poem makes me feel like I was there, looking at the flower. Nicely done.

It is a Bramble flower protected by the sharpest thorns that will later produce blackberries. I may have eaten these on a ramble later in the summer.
