The Symmetry Of Succulents
6.22.2018
The symmetry of succulents
Their patterning of thorns
The spray and spread of prairie grass
Reaching for the stars
The placement of the petals
So precisely form a rose
It’s nature’s desire for balance
Nature’s desire to be as one
Nature’s desire leaves nothing to chance
It’s nature’s design
Guides all as one
Full palette colours
More than Crayola can dream
All shapes
All patterns
Nature’s desire to be as one
Nature’s desire to face the sun
Are we not as much nature
As anything else
Our desire to live as one
Are we not as much nature
As anything else
Our desire for balance
Our desire to face the sun
The symmetry of our fingers, holding hands
The placement of our lives
Precisely placed
Precisely planned
To form a home
The spray of branches
On our family tree
Time and time again
Added by design
Our desires leave nothing to chance
The world is our dance floor
Take my hand, girl
Now’s our chance
Take my hand, girl
And we’ll dance
As one
We will turn to face the sun
As one
We’ll turn and we will dance
The symmetry of succulents
Their patterning of thorns
The spray and spread of prairie grass
Reaching for the stars
The placement of the petals
So precisely form the rose
I give to you on the dance floor
The world is our dance floor
Around it goes
As do we
In natural symmetry
