Minds like motorways
Choked by persistent traffic
Always under stress
*
Senses bombarded
Thoughts jostle for position
Seeking precedence
*
Illusory goals
The destination unknown
Eroding being
*
Life is the fuel
Squandered on frantic motion
Too far and too fast
*
The rose does not think
Held lightly in silent earth
She shows us beauty
*

I think mine may be bluebells…or the pale yellow wild primroses… or maybe just the heather 🙂
