a simple cosmos

]
a meditation on a flower
while the crowds flow by like
cars on a highway, strollers and walkers,
children, seniors, couples and families
walk by this flower without a second
glass, a common cosmos
but have they noticed the feathery leaves
and the shades of pink, purple and white,
the yellow stamen wiht black tips.
i felt the leaves with my fingertips
and tasted the pollen, i am following
the wisdom of bees.
