Photography and Poem By Megan Thomas
Emily Brown
Saturated specks of sun
Scattered across the blankets of blue skies
Reigning over the green meadows of the earth

If you run too hastily you’ll miss the satin flower

Blush pink

Yearning,
longing to be gazed upon

Who plans the growth of a wildflower?
Who takes notice?
Who explores curiosity?

Surely not the hurried seer.
Surely not the speeding driver
the one who slowly walks
They will witness the bloom of her 
entire garden.
