Granted

I'm not sure if this will be right

sometimes I get the idea for a poem

and half write it in my head and 

it sounds great there

but when I am here

well

but I'll try

The flower I picked and placed

on a dead leaf

it's sounds unromantic

but it was epic

the deep red hues

against the light pale yellow green

I wanted to draw it and thought I will wait for tomorrow

but then realized the flower wouldn't be the same tomorrow

it would wilt

that's the different between nature

and the digital age

on the phone, it's always there

just as bright as it ever was, 

but in real life

there's something to capture-- 

something to not take

for granted.
