THE ORIGIN OF FLOWERS
The "Origin of Flowers" series is a fantasy story that I conceived to explore an otherworldly universe where the first flowers have just come into existence and narrate their occurrences as if they wanted us to know their past, revealing to us why we feel so enchanted by their presence.
Just like us, sentient beings, they invite us to experience their feelings while interacting with creatures of all kinds.
I am the first flower
that came into existence.
I am the second.
I am the last.
You've never seen me before.
I want you to see me again, and again, and again...
I love seeing that bunch pretending they are not significant. But that one over there, she can't fool anyone.
They said those were horses,
zebras and giraffes,
but they don't look like nothing of the sort. They are too mysterious
for my taste.
They were our
first flesh-and-bone guardians,
the most careful carriers and
delightful visitors.
Some say that I show off my moods
too blatantly.
So, my apologies if I can't hide them.
Bewildering everything around, leaving enigmatic traces behind and changing the whole vibe of a scene...
We became the first objects of desire.
I am every inch
weather dependent.
I can't wait in my buds
to experience the next efflorescence.
I heard that
it's marvelous.
They promised me
I would be timeless.
There was a boom of wild daisy-like creatures the other day. I could hear them drumming in stillness.
Oppositely arranged, cream-like flowers will be burgeoning in tonight's magical time.
Ray and disc florets
have been holding on
all so strong,
everytime the powerful
North wind blows in.
I will blossom every second, again and again, until you notice me, like a
whirlwind of desires.
A fertile field feels like warm soft animal skin. Embracing and protecting us from
the effects of temperature, light and humidity.
The first shoot that
grows from the seed
of a plant will
scream mystical words enchanting everyone.
It will be a
blossoming secret feast.
Simple leaves
will be welcome too.
A Moonlight Goddess
will cast a
swirl of beauties.
You will think it's otherworldly,
but that's just how
it all once was.
Shhh, we have to stay quiet now. It's time for some magnificent silence.
This is not a dream.
