Forgotten Beauty



"When my arms wrap you round I press
My heart upon the loveliness
That has long faded from the world..."

I guess I must have been channeling Yeats when I took this shot.  Go read the rest of the poem here.  It is so beautiful.  :)

Sweet. I like how it looks like the flower battle through the old growth.

Just yesterday I held a blossom just like this that had faded, in my hand and thought..yes..this is me.
