Flowers

Transient little puffs of life
Reach deeply from one soul
To another

Transferring to man small packets
Of beauty created by God

So we are able to experience a
Few moments of happiness today

And remind us of what may not
Be tomorrow

That’s a good observation. If you think about it we sort of appreciate them from a purely aesthetic and artistic perspective. This is really a cool way of studying the reason why we give each other flowers.

Nice job,

Hello, Clentin,
A sincere appreciation for flowers, and life in its simple form. The first stanza seems so significant for me, I almost want to replace "reach" with "rooted" sensing such a deep connection from one soul to another.
Thank you!

I have never thought of flowers in this way, although I enjoy them immensely. Thank you for sharing your simple, yet elegant perception of them.
