This morning, I found it curious that two of the many plants in our house were blooming right next to each other . . . with the same pink color. In nature this would not be the case.
Denizens Inside Our House
In our cool, shady summer-house,
cyclamen and bougainvillea
bloom together.
One atop a towering vine,
the other from
a flowerpot on the floor.
Their waning flowers,
each two in number,
show off an indentical
hue of pink.
In the wild, one loves it best
in dry hot places;
the other in sun-filled
moist tropics.
Still -
both bloom here
where I too thrive.
Hey. I love the ending of that poem. How true that, in nature, one would not see such a beauteous thing.
ReplyDeleteThis poem also reminded me of some of the beautiful flowers I have seen in the alpine tundra on our camping trips. I have such fond memories and Andy teaching me all the names of the flowers. They were truly beautiful and delicate too.
