CREATION

Somebody is crafting a chandelier,
a display of splendor on a grand scale.
Hundreds of delicate,
intricate components
are being formed in varying stages,
perched in their places in perfect balance
without the boredom of symmetry.
Each is an exhibit
in soft lavenders and purples.
It's all unfolding before my eyes
with no workman in sight.
I stand in awe before the spectacle.
I am witnessing
the blossoming of a
magnolia tree.
