Blue Flower

Hello blue flower. Or should I write Blue Flower? You are so unique. Many of your family are not blue; they are red and yellow, orange and purple. Your family can be large and aromatic. They can be flashy & the center of attention. Among those siblings you would be a mere peripheral compliment.

But dear Blue Flower, your beauty is significant because you need no help or complimenting from others. Alone you are small but magnificent in your independence and radical in the color of blue. You stand out in your five or so petals, your bright white stamen. Your beauty fills a photograph regardless of the placement. You don’t need others.

Because you are not flashy & attention seeking, you can be overlooked. You are bright against the backdrop of simple leaves but unlike others, when you are found you are an even greater treasure.

Thank you little blue flower for being so big when I found you, for being defiant in your blossom that is elegant in perfection and the first bloom in a nest of leaves.

Thank you for helping me to see my little bloom, also independent, simple yet bold, defiant in timing and magnificent without needing to be placed in a vase. You are splendid right where you are regardless of whether you are noticed or appreciated, your aroma is so slight, your design as if drawn by a child with a blue crayon. 

Thank you Blue Flower for being who you are, all alone. Your short life was a successful one. 

Thank You,
Lisa
