Yellow Flower Held High

Yellow Flower

Held above the heads as if it were a party balloon.  A pleasant site, some token of gratitude. Celebration, a wonderful milestone in someone’s life. The plea for acceptance, as a gift to encourage someone to welcome you into their heart. No longer mere plant, has been imbued with layers of symbolic meaning elevated to ritual, elevated beyond lowly companions of vegetable. If only the same desire and attention were imbued into the broccoli would the world be a better place the salacious nature of that carrot or the flirtatious lettuce.
