A thought for today
Is the tulip only beautiful
when it shows petals
in perfect formation
with the right combination and qualities
of shape and colour
Consider the petals tight together
as if reluctant to share their secret
Stretching upwards
they open up
One by one, the petals fall off
An unfolding piece of art
The Beauty of Decay
Are we humans only beautiful
when we are the perfect specimen
with the right combination and qualities
of ability and strength
Consider a life unfolding
full of unknown promise
We reach out
Open up
An illness strikes
Decay sets in
We are still beautiful
