I smile
at the flower.
Pat it gently
with my fingertips.
It grows on stone walls
& houses
& supposedly protects
against lightning.
I smile again
this little flower
defying the might
of the Heavens.

This little wildflower is called stonecrop or houseleek although it may have other names to its name.
Did you enjoy the the artible “Protector” from Dónall Dempsey on OZOFE.COM? Do you know anyone who could enjoy it as much as you do? If so, don't hesitate to share this post to them and your other beloved ones.
