Wildflower Poem
By LJ Brandt (Copyright L.J. Brandt)
January 14, 2026
Shall I call you Peaches? He asked.
Or Petunia?
I'm a Wildflower, I said
in fresh wind, blowing
storm rain and flute songs
roots somewhere in the wild
buffalo hooves crashing churn soil
and then roll, creating
fairy hollows in the meadow
for the wildflowers to grow.
Pale pink pleasing
Light Yellow sense
Butterfly Blue mystery
Red righteous
Green—tender-- life
smells of Victory
White
Difference
I was not cultivated in a garden
I said
to the memories
about to swan dive
into the deep
I caught soil
barely hung on
tippy toed in the
corn field
water dropping
anchor
found me
there
hovering
Years later
An honor ring
given me by my daughter
Letters engraved inside said
"You belong
among
the Wildflowers . . . "
Touché.

Wildflower Song
By LJ Brandt (Copyright L.J. Brandt)
She was here but she couldn’t stay
We all wanted her to be ok
But she left anyway
Sha la la la la
Sha la la
Sha la la la la
Wildflower Notes
On the wind of time
Wildflower floats
Up in the sky
Maybe we see and maybe we don’t
Wildflower comes and goes
Wildflower comes and goes
She crossed the line and she had to go
We all tried but we couldn’t slow her down
She said she was fine,
it was her time
Wildflower Notes
On the wind of time
Wildflower floats
Up in the sky
Maybe we see and maybe we don’t
Wildflower comes and goes
Wildflower comes and goes
She was here but she couldn’t stay
We all wanted her to be ok
So we said goodbye today
Sha la la la la
Sha la la
Sha la la la la
Goodbye Wildflower
Wildflower goodbye
Goodbye Wildflower
Wildflower goodbye
We never could tie you down
You always wear freedoms crown
Wildflower go on
Wildflower go on
Wildflower
