Transient Conditions
post a comment | posted Apr 4
Why do these exquisite snapdragons
arranged so neatly
in a hollow vase
for my viewing pleasure
make me feel so sad?
Could it be because their life
has been selfishly plucked
from their natural habitat
and put on display
for everyone to admire
their temporary beauty
wither and die?
or
because it reminds me of
my transient status which
I have not been able to comfortably accept yet
and that I too,
may have been plucked
and placed in a vase casket?
