Nature of the Earth

by Lindsay Paulson

One can see no thing as beautiful as an early spring flower, I realized shortly after sunset, falling in love. Once you experience the aroma and even occurrence to be savored, limitations require a reality check.

Fragile buds were sprouting at the thought. Colorful goldfinch dove into a throng of crazed clouds.

I care to remember a statuesque bright summer bouquet. A fresh floral cascade will be a nice memento.  

Once you have positively fallen in love with the intoxicating future- a most special event- that is a strength so saints be praised!
