I Could Explore Forever

Precious, pretty, fleeting. Flitting butterfly, lifting wings, too heavy. One, two, three… One, two, three… the flower’s delighted to be explored. Colors, themselves, adored or unnoticed. Just that one spot, spotting the prettiness in the pot; the stems stand tall; lantanas, an unsung song. Silence in the flapping. How can the breeze accommodate, provide a zephyr, a zip, a zest, unrest? My eyes rest upon loveliness - this fixed point; is the universe such things - I could explore forever, one iota at a time.

Lovely writing kim; reminds me of how I feel when I open a bottle of good imported beer...men, go figure. "My eyes rest upon loveliness - this fixed point; is the universe such things - I could explore forever, one iota at a time." -- Lovely writing. Transcending in many ways.

your words remind me of how I feel when I venture into our flower garden every morning. Sometimes I'd like to stay there forever. Well done, Kim.

In the new world to come under Christ we'll have all the time in the world to explore creation. Meantime there's still much to cherish despite our limited life span. Nice one Kim
