Magic Flower Power

Magic Flower Power

I awoke from a dream

   So vivid I could smell 

    The flowers that were floating,

      In the air in millions and billions,

Covering the sky, from horizon to horizon.

A rainbow from the painter’s palette

  Blossoms and blooms, blown skywards

By the sweet perfumed summer winds 

A Persian carpet, only possible in a dream.

From behind a huge Cedar tree, surrounded by pillars of smoke

      A tall man in a conical hat and black flowing robes

Appeared and waved his magic wand--- shouting out

“I am Boaz the Wizard, I command all the flowers in the air

              to dance a merry dance everywhere"

In Japan people in Tokyo looked skywards amazed

  At flying flowers doing cartwheels and dancing in unison.

     On Red Square Moscow all eyes turned heaven wards

            To enjoy the beautiful Dance of the Flowers.

            As the blossoms and Blooms sailed 

  Around the countries of the globe

Everyone came to a stand still,

to admire this heavenly sight.

Parisians climbed the Eiffel Tower

  To get a better View

            Londoners took the afternoon off

  Cameras, Binoculars and even Telescopes

               were everywhere in vogue.

   

          New York went crazy, crowds rushed 

To the tops of sky scrapers, as the floral

Procession fill the sky with cavorting blooms 

 Poppies and Pansy’s, Petunia’s and Tulips

 Showed their steps to the admiring crowds.

Again Boaz appeared, waved his wand and called out 

“Tulips to the front lead the way to the famous flower

  Markets of Holland where all the World’s

         Flowers loves await you.”

    In that instant the Wizard, Boaz disappeared

As did Millions and Billions of Blossoms and 

    Blooms as they made their dancing way

    to their next and final adventure.
