Its form yet graced with colors rare. _________________________________________________________________________________ For surely it is unaware: The flower knows not it was shorn. Such vibrant beauty glowing there. _________________________________________________________________________________ For, having nothing to compare It cannot weep, it cannot mourn. Its form yet graced with colors rare. _________________________________________________________________________________ Appreciate this vision fair – This blossom’s worthy not of scorn. Such vibrant beauty glowing there, Its form yet graced with colors rare. ~ © 2011 RC deWinter
