Life is Like a Cactus Flower - A Poem

Life is Like a Cactus Flower.

Life is like a Cactus flower, it starts too slow but moves

So fast. It blooms to end, un-noted too soon. Except for

Silly, crazy, dreamers, poets and lovers, none would see. Alas!

If only you’d pause to see what they saw. It wouldn't end without a

Note! So, stop a while and see it now, its start and bloom that ends at night.

An end so swift, yet all, so calm, though it lasted  just a night - a pleasure it

Gave to those that watch. So savour the moment while it comes, calm yet grand

While it lasts. See the flower that blooms at night - a sight so fine that none could miss!

So stop and savour the magic so rare, a treasure for those that wait and pause.

A gift from God, ignore you not, (gifts such as these come once a while).

Life is like fishing,

(Fishing and photography are similar too),

With patience and dedication, they land a catch. They are

Virtues for sure, that, through ups and downs help you pass! So

 Celebrate a life, success and fame might not give. Pause awhile, to soak the

Joy, so great. For such is a miracle - a flower, that blooms at night, for those that

Wake. For life does pass in moments too fast – you would not know they came to pass.

While you work the day so hard, dawn does come, the flower to wilt, much too fast. For

All you know, to see the flower that blooms at night, might be the purpose be of life. So, be

Like photographer and fisherman, pause a while for a moment so special - catch the bloom and

And the wilt, life’s like a cactus flower, it blooms at night to wilt by dawn, beauty in short measure!
