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
