PAINTING THE WORLD

PAINTING THE WORLD            

Rare flowers
Transplanted
To another earth,
Wondering if they
Will ever put down roots.

New trees
Shedding leaves
As they left
Their bit of land.
Certain they would grow
Fine fruit
Given half a chance.

Flowers and trees,
Fruit and leaves
Enrich whole countries,
Make them
Even more beautiful.

Beauty on beauty.
