Autumn Flowers

Planting a seed
and watching
it grow into
a beautiful
flower
is a most
rewarding
meditation
that begins
in the dark
of the earth
& heads
upwards
toward
the light
 unfolding
itself
in a fairy dance
of the elements
ripening
finally
at the end
in a cascade
of wondrous colour
and fragrance
that takes
one further
into
bliss




all ages have their beauty
but one at a time
