Iceland Poppy “Listening to the Wind's Song”

Each time the wind blows,
the petals sway softly.

As if listening intently to the wind's song,
they dance gently.

Soft colors,
a translucent light.

Their form,
clad in spring air,
a tiny spirit.

Gently brushing away the lingering chill,
it whispers, “Come, take your first step,”
giving you a gentle push from behind.

💧 A drop's whisper
The Iceland poppy,
riding the spring breeze,
is a drop that loosens the heart.

Its lightness
gently nudges you forward,
helping you take that first step into the new season.
