Golden petals glowing with hopeful heads,
radiating eternal optimism as they absorb the sun's rays
communicating inspiration, popping against the darker greenery.
They might announce
spring's arrival ...
Instead, they brighten
the late-summer
offering hope,
encouragement.
These sunny
faces show
no signs
of impending
autumn frosts,
mortality,
change.
Instead,
they radiate
youthfulness;
heads centered
fully supported
by the sepal
and stem.
Their petals open completely
to the nourishment of the earth's star
fully exposed for the bees to extract their nectar
contentedly breathing in the serenity of maturity
unknowingly prepared for whatever the future might hold.
Laurie's note: How wonderful that such thin stems are able to so fully support the brilliant, much heavier flower heads!
We humans have a lot to learn from nature.
Namaste,
L
