Orchid
Deep in the valley, a beauty hides:
Serene, peerless, incomparably sweet.
In the still shade of the bamboo thicket
It seems to sigh softly for a lover.– Taigu Ryokan
I seem to be bumping into orchids so often (or they into me), so I´m sharing the pleasure with you all.

orchids
when two people
understand each other
in their innermost hearts
their words are sweet
like the fragrance
of orchids– lisa hancox
Orchids in Bloom
In all things thought seen…
The world has once again conspired
Culminating in a soft petals bloom
Capturing, the eye of man
Illuminating hope in the darkest roomIt is this spark, this aura, this radiance
This ignition of inner quality
Amid viscus conflagrations, striking in its purity
Breaching through your outer identity
Nascent, your inner beauty shines, intenselyLighting the path of life and love
