“Yellow Cactus Flower” — Image by kenne
Flowers are not meant
to last forever,
so we cherish
the moments.
Most cactus flowers
last only a day
leaving behind
beautiful memories
for those fortunate
to gaze upon them
in the early
morning sun
while others
share the moment
painting
what they see.
Georgia O’Keeffe, Yellow Cactus Flower, 1929
