On flowers


Perhaps the reason we love flowers 
 Is because they allow themselves to be 
So totally open and vulnerable, 
So fully who, what, and where they are 
In each stage of their brief lives: 
There’s so much grace in that — 
No self- consciousness, no worries 
About the past or the future. 
Just to open slowly, blaze and bloom, 
Fade and then fall… what bliss!
