Flower Of Life Poem by shimon weinroth

A flower has no affectations,
neither vain nor digust, apathy or distrust
is made to attract wonderment and love
herald of creativity

disburses its charms and magic
entices, induces, taste of its beauty
to living creatures plant and animal
who would copulate, devour and enfold

touch the soft texture, enjoy the delicious
color and perfume, possessed of heady sensations
admire seek to possess
to hold, to breathe, to eye and romantically sigh

emblem of life which will shortly wither and die
being reminded of mortal demise
treasure even more
scenes of beauty and truth
