Beauty From Within

The Rain

The Wind

Trees sigh

As I find

that flower:

discarded,

unwanted,

wilting,

and dying

as the rain,

drenches the Earth.

I pick it up

and hold it up to see it

Lightning lights up the sky.

Perfect.

I walk inside,

and put the flower in a vase

and put the vase

in the window

the Sun comes out

shines

and warms the Earth

the wilted petals open up

and out comes

a white rose

perfectly beautiful.
