Wordless Wednesday – First Iris

NaPoWriMo – Day #6

There is
a single bud
on my Christmas cactus.
Today it opens
showing me
how to be brave
and joyful.

“Earth laughs in flowers.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

“People from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole time to have such things about us.” -Iris Murdoch
