Dangerous Flower

The botanical garden lies just a few blocks away 

from my home.

A sanctuary for bright reds, blues, and greens, 

like a child’s dreamscape painted in wild strokes.

 

But as colors meld into shades of black and brown, 

So too do painted petals in the face of wind

 

As I lose myself in their allure.

Time slips away unnoticed,

In the quiet bloom of endless seasons.
