Peony, Young and Old

From young to old, fading…


When the peonies are young they are firm and vibrant.
So easy to fall in love with them.


When they get older, and begin to fade,
I love to watch the lessening of vitality.

I love the softness in color as the petals fade,
and sometimes it changes completely.

Why can’t I see that same beauty in myself as I am growing older?
