Wilted flowers.

I longed for the day to end, Wishing to see the sunset everyone praised.

Only to be struck with awe at the mere sight of the wilted flowers on the ground everyone ignored and crushed.

Only to look up and be struck with awe by the beautiful sunset everyone talked about.

Only to realise beauty is everywhere, In the things spoken of and the things that aren’t.

Only to realise beauty shows up to anyone who longs to seek it with an open heart.
