primroses

I could stay for hours under the sun to contemplate bouquets of primroses, to listen to the buzzing of insects, To contemplate their petals, the shape of hearts, I could stay for hours if no one comes, to absorb the happiness of such delicate flowers, Ah, wasting your time is always winning it, Wasting your time, it’s an art, it’s a work, It takes the help of God and wild nature, To understand the soul of things, symbols, I could stay for hours in the sun. Contemplating primrose bouquets. Je pourrais rester des heures sous le soleil à contempler des bouquets de primevères, à écouter le bourdonnement des insectes, à contempler leurs pétales en forme de cœur, Je pourrais rester des heures si nul ne vient, à absorber le bonheur des fleurs si délicates, Ah, perdre son temps, c’est toujours le gagner, Perdre son temps , c’est un art, c’est une œuvre, Il faut l’aide de Dieu et de la nature sauvage, Pour comprendre l’âme des choses, des symboles, Je pourrais rester des heures sous le soleil. À contempler des bouquets de primevères.

I love flowers, especially orchids. But the one I admire most is the Clivia.

This is so beautiful--it feels like pressing pause on the world to sit in sunlight and silence. I love how you turned something as simple as wasting time into something sacred. The rhythm is soft, and the imagery lingers like a breeze. Thank you for this quiet moment.

I really love your poem! I am fond of Free Verse in which emotions can be freely expressed."I could stay for hours under the sun to contemplate bouquets of primroses," - these two repeated lines are just sublime!

Helloo Yann! Pure magic! The way you capture those blissful moments under the sun, lost in the beauty of primroses, is so relatable. It’s a beautiful thing that sometimes, “wasting time” is where we find our truest joy. I love how you celebrate nature and the art of simply being. Your words inspire serenity. Congrats on POTD! Spring Blessings, My Friend, Daniel

Divine creation seen in the beauty of nature and wasting time in contemplation is an art and a meaningful pursuit of the spiritual connection between humanity,nature and divine creation.Nicely penned.

I too can spend hours enjoying the beauty of flowers. Though it's wasting time in many eyes, I don't feel so. "Ah, wasting your time is always winning it, Wasting your time, it’s an art, it’s a work," Love these lines. Congratulations dear Yaan on your POTD
