Contented Continuance Poem by Vaughn Wood

I find many aspects of nature having perfect metaphorical value to much of the human experience, especially when it comes to relationships. Like my well-meaning attempt to keep my first beautiful and colorful orchid alive forever, I had much the same experience with love and marriage. This poem was written around the one year anniversary of my divorce. Continuing can be a bigger challenge than most expect, but necessary and thankfully natural, just like my Orchid, from beauty to ashes, going nowhere, yet somewhere. Keep on keepin on peeps.
