Learning the flowers (Napowrimo 2020, Day 15)
























A bunch of flowers
To draw them or not? They are delicate
Mellowing texture, varying tints and tones
Need a ballerina in fingers.

To float where the flower is quiet
To arrive where the flower is loud  
To merge hues where the stem nourishes
A bunch of flowers hold so much,
A plant’s dreams of tomorrow
Art of subtlety, of standing united,
Petal by petal on to the stem
Of fragrance, of finding light
Remembering Sun, water,
The composition within, a higher art
The prudence of being a part, to wither away
Gracefully when the five elements identifies within.
Such greatness, modesty, how will one
Portray them simply as a sketch?

The languor that sets in as
The benevolence of a bunch of flowers
Juxtaposes your frivolousness
Yet the colour pencils move slowly
To learn to be mindful of flowers.
