A Flower That Blooms

In a garden, separate, yet unified
There is a flower that blooms,
With a billion molecules of nature
All awash in a universe of splendor.

Thinks this flower alone she stands, yet by her
Side stands another, which never leaves
But sways with the wind to tease
From heavenly time to time. Inexorably

Their petals touch and brush
Together in harmonious rapture.
Soft kisses, fleeting time, and then suddenly apart
They stand alone, but still together.

Never separate, never together,
Side by side in a sea of nature.
Always one, as well as two,
Forever two, forever one.
