It's here, prepared or not –
A single flower.
Dozens of breathtaking, intricate pink-orange petals reach for the sun.
Newly bloomed, plump seeds, crisp leaves, overflowing with rich chlorophyll
A diamond in the ruff, devouring attention, a beauty beyond compare.
It is young, yet it has visitors,
Fuzzy bumblebees and graceful cultivated butterflies.
Oh, but it now has seen enough moons
Everything, however beautiful, must end.
And now – the time has come.
Posted in response to the challenge Here.
There's a kind of love
And it's like hide and seek
An endless chase
Of shadows with flowing hair
Whispers of names and delighted laughter
Out of sight, whistling around you
The last thing that brought a smile to my lips was a school hallway interaction. A girl who I'd never seen passed me, and gave me the biggest smile. It quite literally felt like sunlight seeping to my core.
Sometimes driving makes me wonder
Sitting in a big tin box, travelling faster than a hare
Until I reach traffic and crawl along slower than a tortoise
We spend so, so much time
Moving from one place to another

I love your take on this challenge! "Oh, but it now has seen enough moons // Everything, however beautiful, must end." Ahh, haunting but lovely! I suppose all beauty in the natural world is evanescent, isn't it? Something fall does a good job of reminding us of. Art, poetry, at least, are everlasting...
Thank you so much!! <3 You have a beautiful way of describing :)
