golden-hour flower

Miracles like a flower
at golden hour are
so inconspicuous that we normally miss them.
But every so often we see it—
all its understated beauty and profound glory,
and we wonder,
“how?”

How long has this been there?
How did I miss it?
How much have I passed by, unaware?
How do I walk away now?
How often does Jesus
delicately arrange the circumstances
the shapes,
the colors,
a gallery masterpiece on display,
two minutes only!

And now how do I leave it behind?
