Karma Orchids
The purple orchid seemed flawed
At first glance, twisting yet not ugly
Like an artist who ruins a canvas
In distracted strokes of purple
In a quest to reach out to a sunset
Appearing unworthy of a second glance
Bearing the brunt of his twisted strokes
Till the restless night is broken by the dawn
Producing the most spectacular bloom
Complex and yet mysterious in its appearance
Unquestionably sweet, valued for its many
Differences with other blooms, touching him
As the artist caresses the soft outlines of purple
Karma entwined in hues of royalty and purity
Radiating with freshness that a new day brings
A magic fragrance in the air with an endive
Like flavour, rich to garnish your very soul!
