How My Universe Changed

  
I once named a flower because I could not find her essence. I thought I knew why she had grown unnamed for so long, yet I never knew how my life would change after I named this flower.  She turned and blew away on the wind, leaving only her soul.  Inside I found nature personified, a gem beyond knowing, a spark of sunlight was all that remained.  Through the door I saw a glimpse of her Universe and knew it was also mine.  I woke that morning knowing that every unnamed flower, rock, tree and sea creature held at its center, my universe.  Three wishes I made then.... show me, teach me, allow me.   I mixed this with my discovery and walked peacefully into my new life.  
It ended well, even though my now-named flower had blown away.
