August 17th, 2010

overblown

it's like you're opening up
finally
opening your eyes
petals
blossoms
blooming
you are blooming
you are finally alive
and you wait to be plucked

time will pass:
spring, summer, etc.

there comes a time
when a flower begins to lose itself.
it will pass through blooming and into bloomed
and then
the petals will droop, the pollen blown off
wasted on the wind
each stalk will weaken
and sink
to one side


you see,
nature gets tired of waiting, too.
