Magenta spokes
radiate from a yellow hub;
sparkling strokes of life
to brighten and cheer
the ponderously passing pedestrian.
Perhaps
they will pause
and look more closely;
invest a moment or two
in the brilliant natural splendor
of the ebb and flow of beautiful life.
The beauty of life is all around us.
Daily we can wonder
and smile and
feel it.
Life that rises
from deep within
to remind us,
we are flowers, too;
that bloom with a glorious splash
to brighten and cheer
the passers-by.
