Petals
/Sepals fall off softly, one at a time, floating to the ground
Underneath like silk, a satin welcome
Exposed
Now sun kissed and laid bare; feel the breath of Spring on your stem
The breath of new Spring, connect with the seed
Exposing the rose button
Within this opening; feel the breath of Spring on your stem
So close, the flowering petals
Exposing the rose button
Inflorescence
So close, the flowering petals
Spring’s mounting ascent
Efflorescence
Exposed
Spring’s breathless release
Sepals fall off softly, one at a time, floating to the ground
