cupid's failed arrow

A pink silhouette amidst a sea of yellow,

the delicate wattle stands out against the slopes of Heberton,

its petals a soft blush in a world of sunlit gold.

Cupid’s arrow soars in the wind,

yet is always too weak,

to carry its seeds to new country.

Its attempt to spread,

thwarted by the harsh environment,

time and time again.
