noticing…

Unequalled in it’s simple voice

The flower sings of life itself

Allowing worldly troubles to

Pass by without a thought.

A tear not shed for Gaza nor

A passing whiff of jealousy

Instead a seasons majesty

It’s gift of nectar shared.

In company of reed and ant

& all of natures mixed allure

It’s place within a jigsawed state

Enough for all it seeks to be.

In colours rich beyond the banks

In forms informed by destiny

The flower sings of simple things

And holds it’s own authority.

Upon the breeze it’s seed is set

To wait in dormant winter mode

Consuming only what it needs

To be reborn in future tense.

Beyond pretence in honesty

The flower owns it’s fragile trust

And harbours not ambition nor

The need to fight an endless war.

In temperance in holy show

As one of many splendored ilk

In ignorance a life of thrift

A radiance of simple joy
