how to capture the beauty of a flower

collage created by me
painting by Odilon Redon taken from a Sotheby's magazine

snap a picture, make sure the colors are bright
a sketch of any medium will do, be sure to show how the petals do curve so gently
write a song, a melancholy melody of how you know spring will be gone too soon
cut a thousand flowers out of magazines and see what you get
sing it to the sky, rain or shine with flowers braided in your hair
write a poem, no not even an epic would be enough
press delicate petals between pages of old books you never read,
alas how they will tear as they dry and crumble in your hands

how to capture the beauty of a flower
