'the wonders of nature
endlessly amaze me
how they can hang on
from morning to dusk
stay in one place
never complain
cling to life
when the winds blow
drench themselves
when the rains pour
always look their best
even if only a skeleton
of their original self
they remind me
how life is fragile
when you are fertile
your buds uncurl
ready to unfurl
in front of
a beautiful girl'
