On Flowers
November 4, 2014
Flowers are imperfect -
so I have been told.
Their fallen petals were pointed out to me,
their selfish puprose - to create more flowers
their faded colors.
I maintain perfection is relative;
it's a large favor to expect of a weed.
But when a dandelion glows saffron
and yellow
a sun blooming in the grass
well, don't you tend to forgive its faults?
