Create

expanding my consciousness, I reached out, my fingers fully extended,
to the flowers that appeared to be at the edge of my vision.
They surround me,
and I needed to feel the softly scented petals and run my fingers through the velvet leaves
so I could feel any happiness.
They were the only beautiful things I'd ever seen;
everything else was crude and obvious.
and then the petals and luscious hues melted away.
