Joy Beyond Relevance


they caught my eye
gentle, fragile physicality
soft colors
light blue hues
surrounded by many greens
and both
light blue and greens
all seem somewhat irrelevant
just being there
no fruit
no use I can see
no need that I am able to perceive
yet
the joy that they are there
just for a few weeks
or even less
just as long as weather, their own cycle, or the mower permit
and, to me, just as long as I see them
joy is beyond relevance
