There it was
in the big ceramic pot
trying to get
my attention-this
beautiful flower with
wonderful colors. I
cherished it cared for it,
and it blossomed
in my garden.
One day, the sun dried it,
and I repotted it when
the season changed.
I got new seeds, and
planted them together,
for inspiration.
The seeds
moved into the soil, taking
up residence in this new
ceramic pot, creating
life.
One day, the pot
became a showcase of
red flowers that I could
look away from.
At one amazing flower, shy
half hidden among the riot
of others, raised its head
as if to greet me.
A small and gentle rosebud,
Its singular simplicity
touched my heart, and
opened me.
