At Times


at times...

real need to bloom

as solitary flower...

plucking from garden

is a scream thrusting

through existence...

sensitive flower

blossoms if left alone

passing wind

touches but

does not intrude...

"sensitive flower
blossoms if left alone
passing wind
touches but
does not intrude..."

All it takes is one tug from an intruder, and all life is drained from that existence. It's sad to think of how much a flower goes through to reach that pivotal moment, to no longer flourish in the everyday warmth of the sun. The passing wind does not intrude, yet it teaches it how to bend to prevent it from breaking. I photograph the flowers in my garden all the time, and love to see the day to day process of change. It really is a miracle, you know!

Good to meet you, George!

Awe this is beautiful! My take, do not disturb the new tender buds just starting to grow, metaphor extraordinaire and lovely!
