Now just walking by I see
your blooming glory showing me
everywhere I look this day
I witness spontaneity at play
so as I go along my way
everything shines today.
It is that nature has her time
where buds are growing
as elsewhere flowers fade,
or are too long in the shade
so potential fragrance wafts away.
Some years her flowers stay bright for days
but in present time
the wind has come suddenly,
so now we wait a year
for annual flowering to reappear.
Each open bloom is only brief,
in life plants grow new leaves
to welcome the coming warmth of summer
when tomorrow presents differently
our loitering becomes possibility.
