石榴花

Pomegranate Flowers

大千世界，万紫干红；五彩奇花，争艳斗胜。名花有人攀附，野花招徕不屑。我却在不经意间瞥见一树红彤彤的石榴花，竟让我对这名花与野花之间之花，生出了一番感概。或许她太过平常，童年至今，屡次相遇，竟不曾为其娇容所动。就是在这几日，爱怜却兀自生起。

The world is a blazing brilliance of colors, a dazzling flourish of flowers vying for charm. While renowned flowers win sycophantic admiration, wild ones simply grow humbly unnoticed. Pomegranate flowers, neither a prized species anymore, nor a wild type, evoked in me an unexpected sentiment of emotion after I, quite by accident, caught sight of a pomegranate tree glowing red with flowers. Ever since my childhood, I have had different encounters with pomegranate flowers, and perhaps because they are much too ordinary I should have failed to be touched, not even once, by their charm. It is not until recently that I began to generate an affectionate fondness towards them.
