Revisionist Poetry – “Field Notes for a Quiet Miracle” – Floral Gramophone, v.3

Out in the field,
there’s a flower that looks like a gramophone horn.

And honestly, it stops you.

It opens like it knows something
you forgot to remember.
Like sound can become shape.
Like beauty can still surprise you.

It does not shout.
It just stands there
pulling the whole field into its orbit,
quiet as breath,
bright as a thought you almost missed.

You look at it
and suddenly the world feels less heavy.
Less rushed.
More alive.

That is the strange power of it:
one bloom,
and your mind starts turning music into colour,
colour into feeling,
feeling into something close to peace.

It is only a flower.
And somehow it is not.
