Forever Two, Forever One

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

This flower stands alone, 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, 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.
