Georgia's Valentine

The five petals that cooperate
To shape its cup
Are just leaves changed color
 
The point is the pistil
Itself a separated leaf
With a new-found purpose
 
It charges toward the days
With infant leaps
In a haze of self-assertion
 
Sensing something more than sun
Is out there so it stops
To listen and to question
 
The idea of a seed
The very idea of a seed’s
Brilliant construction
