Blossoms and Bubbles
Sweet blossoms bloom under a sky so round
and arc toward sunlight with a fragrant scent
They dance in silence above rooted ground
Green leaves tilt upward in a subtle bent
Dare to pluck blossoms for window display
and watch soft bubbles clinging to their stem
Should I arrange flowers in glass ballet,
or allow them life, so I'll not condemn?
For what is beauty if its stem is cut,
and placed in water apart from its birth?
To watch blooms wilt as fragrant flowers shut
and tossed away when it has lost its worth
Rather keep blooms beneath cathedral sky
For humming bee's wings, colored butterflies
