Wild flowers
chosen with love
and wreathed into a circle
of hope.
Choose forgetme nots
and amaranths
for blue,
yellow Lazarus daisies
for resurection,
white dandelion blooms
for modest purity
and poppies red
from the blood of the cross,
for people still
crucify each other.
Weave in a lot
of green stalks of wheat
anticipating
that May
the month of births,
will usher peace.
