Weeds
Surprised by the filly heads of coral
Rooted in my garden wall
Where I never planted a seed.
I wonder if it is flower or discarded weed
Invading my garden barricade.
I decided to let the renegade
Flourish so I can observe
If it is a blossom that deserves
Space within my private grounds.
For loveliness lives and abounds
Not in origin but in the eye of the beholder.
