The Bouquet
We are not that different;
So why do we hate?
We all laugh;
We all weep;
We all mourn;
We all feel pain;
We all experience joy;
We all feel loneliness;
And had our hearts broken;
We all have friends;
We all have detractors;
We all have faith;
And we all have ideas;
We have so much in common;
Yet we let ourselves be divided;
A single rose is beautiful on its own;
But there is even more beauty;
In a colorful bouquet of roses!

Post a CommentWonderful expression of a question that plagues our age. Another in a long line of sparkling gems.
Lisa, you've hit another new plateau with this one. The shape is dynamic! It's like a waters dropping from a cliff that go rushing downward to crash and foam (lines 7-11) and then collect in a deep and quiet pool. BEAUTIFULLY fitted to an originally expressed truth! Brava!
This is very beautiful and full of wisdom. Excellent!
