Forever Beautiful
A large, black cloud drifts in from the west. Thunder is heard and lightning strikes illuminate the darkened sky. Wind gusts blow over anything not secured. Torrential rain falls along with quarter-sized hail. After the storm, flowers are bent and tree branches broken. Left is a single bloom, slightly marred, proudly standing.
a peach rose
one petal missing
imperfection
does not diminish
