At first I mistook them for fleabane,
both having such tiny white flowers,
But as I neared them, I realized they
were something else, something
I had never seen before, inviting
me to take a closer look. “Oh my!
Petals like an orchid and wearing
such delicate dabs of purple!” I say
to myself as I gaze at the little flowers.
I never fail to be amazed at
the intricacies of the world,
at the touching, exquisite details.
It makes me hold my breath in awe
and to feel honored somehow
just to see them, right here, before me.
