Raison d'arte

Space is cold and vast and empty.
The here and now is full of moments,
some dull, some crazy,
some that cause fear.

I will pick these flowers
and others more tender,
arrange them into something
you can warm in the sun.

A bouquet for your thoughts.
Bury your face in the scent.
Watch out for your allergies
and the sting of biting things.
