Phases of a Flower
Her eyes
shut closed tight
Delicate, young and naïve
she conceals her face
Delicate, young and naïve
she conceals her face
Tiny
leaves still weak,
stiff and stocky, out of place,
she has much to learn
stiff and stocky, out of place,
she has much to learn
She
starts to open,
blooming and growing stronger
a growing flower
blooming and growing stronger
a growing flower
embracing changes
waiting in anticipation
for her to unfold
She has
shown her face
blooming in strength and courage
growing confidence
blooming in strength and courage
growing confidence
Petals
are dancing
in choreographed movement
nearing her summer
in choreographed movement
nearing her summer
Standing
in full bloom
she is tall and confident
her head is up high
she is tall and confident
her head is up high
Courageous
and bold
she’s a tactile temptation,
her beauty to hold
she’s a tactile temptation,
her beauty to hold
She’s
falling apart
scattering petals around
swept up by the wind
scattering petals around
swept up by the wind
And sowing
her seeds
she deposits her knowledge
of new beginnings
she deposits her knowledge
of new beginnings
