Forms tightly woven
sweet filled cups spill into air
generous buds full
letting go unfurl
calyx corolla armor
release opening
protective layers
disrobe revealing pendants
alluring fragrance
floating mist essence
embracing senses engage
claws and spurs spread out
explosive fireworks
pendulous orbs nurture life
pink porcelain stars fall
wild and native green
countless creatures jade delight
weed of milky sap
imagination
inhales expanding open
eyes to inner sphere
essential cycle
return each season newly
egg to butterfly
idea to artful
nature feeds cultivates joy
a chrysalis forms
