Flowers

a poem about love

love is in
everything

but how then,
does a flower
have love
if it does not
breathe air,
and feel sunshine,
and think of love
as
we
do?
they ask

and yet
we love the way
that petals feel
under
our
finger
tips

and we love
the way they
bloom
every
spring

and so
does that
not mean
that flowers
have
love
too?

[John the Baptist]

I liked the spare delivery and the simplicity of the message of this work. Without saying so, it points out the fact that there are different types of love. Well done.
