I like to keep fresh flowers on my table, it just brightens up the atmosphere I think. The variety of colors, textures, smells and romance of having them just fascinates me. Wild flowers are wonderful but I don’t bring these home. Seeing them in their fields of splendor is plenty intoxicating to my senses.
Sadly time always takes its toll on these beautiful floral. Eventually the water becomes cloudy and one by one they drop their petals for good. I have to empty my vase and throw what is dead into the trash. The price of a fallen world comes to mind again.
I long for the day when flowers will remain forever fresh, vibrant and alive. I long for the new heaven and new earth. I long to see flowers with new colors never imagined. My longing I cannot express well enough with mere words.
