In Abstraction Cerulean, Lesley Scoble traces the ascent of a tulip not as a botanical event, but as a metaphysical unfolding—where breath, light, and color converge in a moment of unseen birth. Inspired by the vertical abstractions of Georgia O’Keeffe, this poem (and song) invites us to witness emergence through a lens of innocence and awe. It’s a meditation in pastel, a bloom in slow motion.
