The path strewn with the decay of humanity
I glimpsed the delicate trunk of a timeless beauty
Stepping closer to view unobstructed
I beheld a beauty unspeakable

Fascinated as I was with the magnificence
I was struck with a more potent thought
Who could have fashioned such a thing?
Who could have imagined this singular life?

Perfection in its simplest form
Yet a complexity not yet fully comprehended
A single stem green with leafy appendages
Topped with petals as orange as the sun

Its significance in the universe oblivious
Its place in the chain of life undeniable
Its seemingly random placement
A testament to Gods perfection
