Road Side Flowers

Glimpse of harlequin beauties,
engrossed my colorless sight,
like the angler hook.

Their fragrance swayed 
in the breeze and reached me,
like the straight arrow.

No one noticed the wonder,
Even,I could not go near them
or nudge them.

I pondered"Why are they alone?
How do they grow and 
for whom do they bloom?"

The flight of hungry honey bees,
answered my silly questions
 "God is Great"  

Seeds of hope are planted
in my heart,
by the Road side flowers.

Ahhhh - lovely roadside flowers - I'm always tempted to pick them and take them home with me - but I try not to be selfish and leave them for others to enjoy! Beautiful piece full of lovely imagery! Hugs. Pandita
