The Petal

It is good from time to time to reflect on the incredible beauty that surrounds us throughout the natural world.This short poem celebrates that through the beauty enfolded in a single petal.

The Petal.

Deep perfection

lies in the uniqueness

of this

miniscule of nature.

Veining, so delicate,

in entrancing hues,

reflecting the beauty

of the cosmic whole

concentrated into

a bare, square-millimetre of glory.

Spun by an artist, so deft

that He needs no copyright

to protect His interests,

but rather

makes all His work

freely available

for emulation,

knowing that

for all the devious

cleverness of humanity,

this and every similar looking

petal

will remain unique.
