an homage to mary oliver
· · ·
what do you wish for?
my mornings in the flower palace
and its enchanted garden of eden;
in the floral realm'
are gloriously
nourishing every moment of my being.
i come here to give care, love & thanks to all of the blossoms
in my universe in order to help them thrive.
you see, i am the faerie floral princesse of spring.
i am here to cultivate new life, dreams, joys & hopes for humanity.
magic grows here in full splendour
flowers are busy beautifying themselves to attract wonders,
birds are singing to gift us with yet another morning,
trees lavishly display wisdom,
the sunshine embraces me.
so
as you might understand;
i am in the blizzard of joy.
my blossoms can put a spell on your wishes and
through the purest love will make them come true.
one just have to ask.
ask and you shall receive.
do you ask for what you wishes?
our father in the heavenly realm,
created a world of abundance,
so i say wish dream fantasise all you might.
as lovely as you might.
as mary oliver once said:
*whoever you are,
no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination.*
so know that you can
imagine an
infinite faerie tale life.
what is it that you wish for?

What Do You Wish For?
Originally published in Kyrkobladet (Swedish Church in London magazine, edited by Mona Davidsson), early March 2019. An homage to Mary Oliver, who had recently passed away — and the reason Alice started writing her own poetry.
