Life vibrant and juicy
Splashes in splendor for us
Enjoy while you can
Steal its sweet nectar
Breathe in its breathlessness
Soon it will be gone
Scars of time and grief
Will wither away its brilliance
And wrinkle its face
Soon to join the fallen
Fading to obscurity
Silent and scentless
Droop not in distress
Yet
Steal from time its blessings
Before it is too late

So beautiful – and love the pictures that go along.
