the once vibrant becomes a
bit musty and faded
like aging heirloom lace
its last chapters nearing completion
aging with dignity and grace
one need not be brilliant
to show true beauty.
Heart Thought: these beautiful faded blooms are now resting, in a wooden bowl. Come spring their tiny seeds will edge our garden in masses of vibrant color.
your words ring so true and beautifully complement your interesting photos....nice job
ReplyDeleteWhat a magical thing -- to be able to savor the last bit of color, to watch the withering process, all the while knowing that there will be a renewal when (with your help) the seeds are scattered. Ok - I'm a dork, but that makes me tear up a little bit because it so speaks to seasons of life and the hope or promise of new starts.
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful words and lovely pictures. They indeed will be a continuation of nature's beauty! Have a wonderful weekend! Cathy
ReplyDeleteAh, yes - the circle of life. From vibrance to wilted to seed to new life. A beautiful reminder of that continuous cycle of change.
