FULL BLOOM
5 April 2013

We are the innocence
of our childhood,
the enthusiasm of our youth,
the productivity of our middle years,
and the wisdom of our old age.

Let us wrap all those flavours,
in multi-hued bonbon papers,
of the glorious and fragile moment
and savour the enchantment,
for,
as fast as a butterfly’s wing flutter,
we will be
only a memory
or not.

Hello, Owl. It is good to read you again. May it be more than a memory---this fluttering of fragile wings.

Love --- Art

I very much enjoyed this read. Nicely portrays the many stages of one's life, and the memories of which we attain.
