People are like flowers

People are like flowers Dotting an otherwise monochrome plateau;  A landscape predictable and bare - A horizon flat, uninterrupted.  Daisy, tulip, iris, snapdragon: Bright or mute, Unordinary or plain,  Invite the eye - They seem to say,  "Do you see me?  Do you really see?  I splash color I raise my head I call for your gaze  To rest on my beauty. From afar you see only my brightness; Up close,  my delicate, intricate detail - My unique design." People, delightful and diverse,  Dot life's landscape Intersecting doldrums Painting days  Splash hues bold or discreet Blends never known to exist Winning my gaze,  Allowing my eye to rest On those whose invitation - Clear as a sunflower against  A crisp, cloudless sky - Speaks unabashed: "Look at me.  See me.  Really see.  I welcome your unrestrained awe."
