a soft embellishment
on a naked stalk
sprouts green
velvet soft leaves,
hiding a majesty
yet to be revealed.
tip of beauty,
working, waiting
to show
it's colourful face
to the world.
We, mere mortals,
wait, bated breath
to behold nature’s gift.
yellow buds,
watched daily
excitement mounting,
petals pushed aside
awaiting birth.
Such wonder,
beauty,
sweet perfume
fills the air
watching in awe
as nature unfolds
on life's path to death,
dry...
wither...
die.....
Ending days
encased amongst the leaves
of a dusty book.....
