about orchids....

She is lit with warm colors
and is drawn towards everything that breaths
whether it's a smell a sound or a touch.

She wants to be understood
but frequently lacks the patience
to properly explain what makes her tick.

She will embrace you despite your faults
but will require that you return the favor
and extend this same kindness to those around you.

She longs for you to deem her smart
as she has long ago accepted that physical beauty
while initially alluring, is fleeting.

She arches her life towards the light
and at every chance she gets
looks up to the sky for signs from the Universe.

Smart is just one of multiple great adjectives I think of when I think of you...caring, thoughtful, spunky, determined, generous, deep, real, fun...I think you get the picture!
