this flower

this was the way

this was the essence

this was the start 

of something

that led to

something

you see,

this flower

tells a story

of the flowers that will follow

and then too

it says

something

much to be admired

it says 

"i am simple

i am complex

i am beautiful

and here for a very short while.

no need to judge me

no need to admire me

simply experience

my experience

and learn so much more"
