Poppy: Stillness in Bloom
Come closer.
There’s a story in this bud.
A glimpse,
a pause.
An unexpected discovery.
Moving in closer.
Petals emerging.
Vibrant red,
surrounded by calming green.
Beauty,
ready.
Waiting.
Petals aloft.
Reaching to the sky.
A vibrant awakening.
Swaying in the wind.
Relaxed presence,
dappled by sunlight.
Unafraid.
A sight of delight.
Pure joy.
Freedom.
Fleeting moments.
Here only for a day.
Maybe two.
Bringing their joy home.
Contrasts—
Warm wood.
Delicate,
dramatic petals.
A crackled vase.
Relaxed beauty,
captured in still life.
A place to rest.
If only for this moment.
