Budding most tenderly
Sweetness within
Rich nectar
Soft fragrance
Unseen
Secretly forming
Unknown
Little things, transitioning
Gently protected
Lingering

Emerging
beneath misty shadows
submerged
preserved
to suddenly give birth

A pretty flower
unfurls
Delicate petals
uncurl
To drop
One by one
With a pirouette
a tiny twirl

To blow away
And there to stay
To savor and share
everlasting delight
Lush for the clasp
from The Giver of Life
love
e'er enthroned
to impart
the fruit
The beautiful fruit of the heart
