Grey Thoughts

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
