Simplistic Intricacies

A flower smiled at me today

As I sang in a rumpled voice

As I talked to myself
Making little sense

As I danced and shook the ground
With my delicacy

As I looked around in embarrassment

A flower smiled at me today

As I frowned with inadequacy

As I looked at myself and said
Settle down
The flower smiled on

I thought to myself
As I took a sniff
This flower is a good
Judge of character
And I smiled back

Throw your heart out in front of you
And run out to catch it.

Nothing simple about that but it is one of the simplest things to overlook if we aren't paying attention. What a wonderful way to remind us all to slow down and enjoy the true works of art that we are surrounded with daily. Great write.
