lone yellow flower

in the middle of the back garden, a tiny dot of yellow.

i almost had to be on top of it to see it, but there it was.

tiny, improbable.

entirely alone.

lone yellow flower

waves in the open fields

bowing according to the tune

among the sea of green;

lone yellow flower has no one to blame

and it seeks none to praise

for it knows all life comes in

when the conditions are right;

lone yellow flower knows

death comes in like the wind;

lone yellow flower

is never alone

for it is a part of the expression

of the earth and time and the universe;

lone yellow flower sees what is before and around

lone yellow flower observes what is within and about

and so lone yellow flower lives with no delusions

no beliefs of heaven and hell

fears none and does not live or die

to please or amuse or appease;

and lone yellow flower

blossoms and shines

and shrivels and ceases

in harmony

with what actually is;

lone yellow flower

waves in the open fields

bowing according to the tune

among the sea of green
