To the wilting flower, I give no sympathy, Nor the blooming of a bud does not interest me. Nor the stem that gives it birth, or even its bed, the earth. No colour scheme captures my eye, from its beauty, I shall not sigh. Through all the seasons that we face, we are one with time and space. So in my thoughts, I remain aware, of my consciousness I take care. Understanding emotions are fleeting, analyse the flower as part of life's greeting. Be the river that comes and goes, divert into outlets as it flows. Be the desert but not the storms, watch the oasis as it forms.

I am slow Wolf. Had to read this several times. Love the sentiment. I think we will all have a different voyage based on which "outlets" we choose to take. "Be the desert, not the storms" I can relate to these lines. Nicely done Wolf! - Dean

Profound my friend WW! Should we keep in mind that we cannot have the one without having the other? Beautifully written!
