After @wildfamily's exciting debut in last week's #openmic, we're following up with another collaboration. We sure appreciate the warm responses we received from Kat's song, Home. This one we're sharing here is a newer song, written this Winter.

“Flourish”

The Song

The Lyrics

Every wildflower knows how to walk hold the earth
Aware of the way of the wind we remember to bend
When we bear fruit we present our seeds to the breeze
Trusting the wind to allow us to continue to flourish

Flourish [4x]

[And] with our roots planted firm in the dirt
We open our petals to the heavens
Bathing in the light that purifies
Bringing that energy inward

Every wild animal knows how to tread lightly
Soft paws gentle hooves we remember the shush of the sea
Moving with the ocean in motion inside of us
Trusting the water to allow us to continue to flourish

Flourish [4x]

[And] with our roots planted firm in the dirt...

Every wildfire knows its role in the medicine wheel
To end one cycle for a new life cycle to begin
We burn like the phoenix and return to the dawn of a new day
Trusting the fire to allow us to continue to flourish

Flourish [4x]

[And] with our roots planted firm in the dirt....

This event lights me up. I see it as a worldwide celebration of the arts, encouraging us all to express ourselves creatively, week-after-week. I feel excited by the growth I see in the people who participate in the Open Mic, including myself. It's a pleasure to be a member of this tribe.

Speaking of “tribe,” I'd like to thank my family: Kat (@wildfamily), Daniel (who inspired this song), Rosalie, Gabriel, and Nana (Kat's mom, who is watching the kids for us).

I'm grateful to @luzcypher for bringing us Steemit Open Mic Week #95. Thanks to the sponsors: @pfunk, @ausbitbank, @curie, @isaria, @aggroed, who keep this community challenge so valuable and worthwhile. Thanks to the community who keeps it fresh, hip, and vibrant, through our active participation.
