Literature Text

Petals fall in the midst of stillness
The only stir in blank silence

One petal in particular, falls gently into my palm
So peaceful and calm

It graces my hand with a delicate landing
Almost to the point to where I could not feel it,
And I could only indicate it was there in the first place with my own eyes

It's color is blended with faint pink and shades of white
It feels very innocent and pure

More of the delicate petals fall around me,
Some bestow their presence near my feet

I look down at them as I tilt my head in puzzlement,
So much to ponder,
Gazing at these individual fragments of a simple beauty

Wondering,
What is their purpose?
Why do they lay here?
And why must they appeal to the naked eye and it's pleasures?
Why be such a beauty to us?
When we take them for granted and not recognize how special they can really be
As we just realize that you lay there, and we sometimes never really care,
I, myself, do the same thing without meaning to,
But I do wander in my mind and I know of your real beauty

Overthinking?
Some may ask,
But I think not because you are not truly thinking

Life is a wonder to think about,
How it grows
And how it shows,
And how it surrounds us and manifests in our very own shells of flesh and blood

And some things are not as simple as they seem
When you peel away the layers of logic and our made-up human realities,
And see life as a puzzle that you can never find the last piece to,
And see everything as a magnificent work of beauty
I find this a little harder to explain, just to say I am a person who thinks a lot to myself. I am serious, I am a superbly deep thinker. I am pretty sure there are other people who think like me, but it shouldn't be a suprise when I say I can not meet a lot of people who do. So I do have trouble with people understanding me, but as if I care at times. I hope you like my poem, I tried to make it as best I could.
