Forsythia

Forsythia


Cadmium yellow blossoms surround
my young realm
as tall as my childhood eyes could see.
their sweet fragrance perfuming
my little kingdom
should I have stayed
in the small confined safe realm?

I wish I could have,
but all too soon
I was able to see over the tops
of my favorite bloom
and wonder at the world outside
with its hustle and bustle.

I still find childish delight
in the buttercup blooms,
but they are not surrounding me,
and holding me safe anymore in my realm.
