Simple Simplicity

by Blue-Stubby

How many petals
has a rose?
A question maybe
someone knows.

How many thorns
guard the stem?
Maybe no ones
counted them.

How many branches hang
waxed leaves of green?
An answer to this
I've never seen.

I learned something
I can most certainly say;
beauty is a rose bloomed,
giving fragrance to the day.

So, the next chance I had
between that rose and me,
I paused from thought
and inhaled...

a bit of simple simplicity.





I have spent time in my life asking so many questions. I have a desire to know things. This piece came from a related wondering in which I received a revelation of sorts. I found that in asking so many questions, I was missing the simplicity of beauty. It was contexually irrelevant to ask why is was the way it was. It just was, and it was beautiful.
What it was is not important, lol, just that I learned to see something simply as it was.
