The poet's thoughts become a poem;
but, what is its engine that
drives it home?

Buds are the baby
flowers waiting to
be born.

Agapanthus orientalis
Lily of The Nile

Consider how many among us,
unbeknownst to the rest,
are drowning in this
ocean of people.

The sun fell upon a flower,
yet the sky did not
grow dark.
