Awaken O' Flower



Awaken O' Flower
from slumber so deep.
The winter has left you,
the cold wind has ceased.

Arise from your coffin
of soil and ice.
Bring forth your fragrance
of springtime's new life.

Stretch out your petals
and reach for the sun.
It's rays of life greet you
and bid you to come.

Offer your beauty
the way only you fashion.
So striking and brilliant
the colors of passion.

Hear now the song,
of natures lul-a-bye
Harmoniously welcoming
the dawn of new life.

Sprinkle your essence
upon this new day
and dance in the arms
of the breezes at play.

Cherish each moment
from whence you first grew.
Treasure the beauty
created for you.

But do not forget,
Springtime too shall pass
Soon summer arrives,
then Fall and Winter alas.

Awaken O' Flower
arise from your grave.
For time has no friendship
and we are it's slave..

Maria Cecilia Willhelm

I'm a singer an artist,photographer, novice writer and a mom but, that is not all I am. I'm also giving, loving, resourceful, compassionate, patient, grateful, resilient, dedicated, strong, fashionable, relentless, motivated, perfectionistic, spiritual, sensual, comedic, playful, chatty, intelligent, sometimes mischievous, a fiery latina and an extremely creative soul. I was born in Bayamon, Puerto Rico October 1978 but, my parents are Cuban (born and raised). I was raised in Miami, Florida. I have a younger sister & an older half brother & sister. I love singing, writing short stories & poetry, photography, drawing and painting. I'm also totally fascinated with Fairies & Angels. They are sooo beautiful! I am convinced that we have Angels all around us watching over us and guiding us everyday and everywhere we go... Here's an update on my life. Yes, I recently went through the most difficult time of my life but I have come through renewed and with a zeal for life beyond even my understanding.I am trying to better myself everday and see all the good that is in life. Even, if sometimes it's hard to find...it's always there. I finally met a wonderful man who really gets me and wants me dings and all. He treats my like a queen and he has a heart of gold. He's my "Knight in Shining Armor". We recently married in the Isle of Oahu, Hawaii on May 2009 amongst our great friends. He is truly an amazing man and I couldn't have asked for anyone better to spend the rest of my life with. more…
