Poppies Come To Think Of It

When mankind goes away and flowers come alive in nature

Poppies Come To Think Of It

More poppies grow along the asphalt road

Where mankind once came then went away

Flowers don’t remember men because

Orange colored petals form like cups of tea

Primal stems built thick to hold the system up

Containing powdery pistils erect in solid black

Anther/filament merge to form perfection

Soft to the touch dressed up in wonder

Standing tall to nourish bees with nectar

So there are no thoughts worth thinking of again

Winds come gentle to make beauty genuflect

Thick and flexible they bend the knee today

Sunny days know no boundaries to life’s effect

To the sometimes comings and goings to death

But poppies forget everything once again

When they fall into a bed of roses fast asleep

The sun goes down, forgets to turn off the lights

Nature is not perfect but well worth the time it spent

With poppies when you come to think of it
