Would flowers still be beautiful if they never bloomed
What good are the petals if no one is there to admire them
Perhaps they are inadequate, and maybe that’s why they wither
Yet these seeds that bloom
Never asked to be looked at
Or praise for the beauty that they hold
So maybe I am philosophizing too much about the matter
And not enjoying the gift that they offer
Nor listening to the words that they speak
For such a human tendency it is to complicate things
To pick at things until there is nothing left to pluck
Maybe it is all simpler than we think
And maybe that’s the true beauty of a flower
