Life As A Flower
Eyes search for features that are aesthetically pleasing
Thoughts and feelings influence what we perceive
Searching for something that’s right in our faces
but have we managed to switch our algorithm
inhibiting certain image processing within our brains?
Look at this bouquet of flowers filled with roses
See the fallen petals and dead leaves
Do you focus on the loss that is present
or on the petals in bold, rich pigment and viridescent leaves
Picture life as a beautiful flower that has bloomed
whose fragrance mixed with summer rain
refreshes the air
It creates a rainbow of pink made from delicate petals
that feel like silk between your fingertips
A flower blooms when it is ready
A reminder to cherish life
Do not rush through it so hastily
In time you too will bloom and flourish
No one will be able to fulfill your destiny
